p < .01. Δ-2LL at step 1 represents the change in −2 log likelihood relative to an intercept only model. IRR (incident rate ratio) represents proportional change for each unit increase in the predictor (e.g., an IRR of 1.05 = a 5% increase for each unit change in the predictor). Cohen’s d was calculated using the formula 2t(sqrt[df]). Race categories are coded such that tests of parameter estimates represent the comparison of the given race with Caucasian students.
