Time-varying deviations are obtained by centering around each child’s initial value of the variable (Time-1 centering, see Singer & Willett 2003, p.176).
p < .001;
p < .01;
p < .05;
p < .10.
Note. All models include site as a covariate on the intercept and linear slope. Standard errors in brackets. Neig. = Neighborhood, M = months, TV = Time-varying.
