Note. OR=odds ratio; CI = confidence interval; PAR = population attributable risk. All analyses include statistical control for demographic variables of gender, age, and race/ethnicity.

^a Wave I control for completed high school is average grade. There is no corresponding Wave I control variable for working 10 or more hours per week.

^b To enable comparison across predictors, PAR values for mentoring were computed with the mentoring predictor recoded so that a score of 1 represented not reporting a mentoring relationship.

^c For calculation of PAR values, these outcomes were expressed in negative terms (e.g., not completed high school).

^d Analysis limited to respondents not currently enrolled in postsecondary education.

*P <.05; **P <.01; ***P <.001.
