Note. MTO = Moving to Opportunity for Fair Housing Demonstration. Models adjust for parental sex, race/ethnicity, age, education, employment status, marital status, and number of children in household and apply weights by date of random assignment because the assignment ratio for the 3 groups changed throughout the randomization period. Missing baseline characteristics were imputed to the mean of the nonmissing sample.

aSignificance levels indicate significant difference compared with in-place controls.

bParents reported “how much they were bothered or troubled” during the past month with each symptom, on a 5-point scale from “not at all” (1) to “all of the time” (5); scale scores are averages.

*P < .10;

**P < .05;

***P < .01.
