Notes: Cohabitation is measured with more detail at 1 year than at the baseline interview. At the time of the baby's birth, couples are counted as cohabiting if the mother answers "yes" to the question of whether they are living together; at 1 year, they are counted as cohabiting if the mother reports that they live together "all or most of the time" or "some of the time. " Visiting couples are those who report they are romantically involved but living separately. Couples considered as friends reported they are "just friends. " Parents' having "no relationship" at baseline is determined by the mother reporting that she "hardly ever" or "never" talks with the father; at 1 year, this category is based on the mother reporting that she is "not in any kind of relationship" with the father or "separated/divorced" from him. Figures are unweighted.
