RR - Risk Ratios calculated using logistic regression with quasipoisson log function with 95% Confidence Interval.

Both adjusted models are adjusted for sex, ethnicity, maternal education level, maternal attachment, family composition (sw1-4), mother's age at 1st birth and school satisfaction at P1 transition.

Sw = sweep.

a

Time-fixed confounders – maternal mental health (sw1), general health (sw1), maternal employment (sw2).

b

Time-varying confounders – maternal mental health (sw1 & sw5), general health (sw1-4), maternal employment (sw2-4) and significant life events (sw2-5).
