Notes:

^*p<.05;

^**p<.01.

Chronological age at baseline and race were statistically controlled in all of the growth models except those in which they were conceived to be moderating factors (e.g., in the model examining race as a moderator, only chronological age was statistically controlled).

^#PMC= number painful medical condition at baseline.

i_M = mean initial status; i_c = initial status regression coefficient; s_M = mean linear growth rate; s_c = linear growth regression coefficient.
