Note. Table presents raw frequencies, weighted proportions, and results from logistic regression models. Sample size varies across outcomes due to survey skip patterns and missing data; the analytic sample size for each model is given in parentheses. Analyses adjust for survey design and incorporate sampling weights. Multivariate models controlled for race/ethnicity, family structure during adolescence, highest parent education (measured at Wave I, 1994–1995) as well as age, insurance status in the past year, and years since first sex (measured at Wave III, 2001–2002). Referent group is non-disabled. OR=odds ratio; CI=confidence interval.
