Notes:

a

The dependent variable in this model is the CES-D score reverse coded so that higher values correspond to better emotional health

b

variables in level 2 model are measured at first observation

c

As noted in the text, β00 and β01 represent the intercept and slope, respectively, for respondents with mean values of continuous covariates and
