Adjusted and Unadjusted Regression Estimates of Associations Between Adolescent Health Conditions and Adolescent Connectedness Outcomes Based on EPOCH Connectedness Scale (N=3,207)

	Positive Adolescent Functioning: EPOCH Connectedness Scale		Components of EPOCH Connectedness Scale (strongly agree, vs. agree, disagree, or strongly disagree)
	Average score (ranges from 1 to 4)	Score = 4 (vs. < 4)	Has friends he/she cares about	Has people who care about him/her	Has people to share good news with	Has someone who will be there when there is a problem
	OLS coefficient [95% CI]	OR [95% CI]	OR [95% CI]	OR [95% CI]	OR [95% CI]	OR [95% CI]
PANEL A Unadjusted
Any developmental or behavioral health condition(s)	−0.05 [−0.08 - −0.02]	0.78 [0.66 - 0.92]	0.74 [0.60 - 0.91]	0.67 [0.52 - 0.86]	0.74 [0.61 - 0.90]	0.99 [0.82 - 1.20]
Any physical health condition(s]	−0.02 [−0.05 - 0.02]	0.95 [0.79 - 1.14]	1.00 [0.79 - 1.27]	0.69 [0.53 - 0.90]	0.89 [0.71 - 1.11]	0.90 [0.73 - 1.11]
PANEL B Adjusted
Any developmental or behavioral health condition(s)	−0.05 [−0.08 - −0.02]	0.80 [0.67 - 0.94]	0.76 [0.61 - 0.94]	0.65 [0.50 - 0.84]	0.77 [0.63 - 0.94]	0.98 [0.81 - 1.19]
Any physical health condition(s)	−0.02 [−0.05 - 0.02]	0.96 [0.80 - 1.16]	1.03 [0.81 - 1.30]	0.72 [0.55 - 0.94]	0.89 [0.72 - 1.12]	0.91 [0.74 - 1.13]

Notes: In each panel, the columns present estimates from a single regression model containing the two chronic health condition measures.

OLS = Ordinary Least Squares. CI = confidence interval. OR = odds ratio.

Adjusted models control for all adolescent, primary caregiver, and household characteristics in Table 1. See Appendix Table 1 for information about coding of health conditions. See Appendix 2 for full adjusted logit regression results.
