Note: Complete data sample represents the number of children with complete data for the variables.
a
The binary behavior indicators (yes/no) are based on a T-score of 63 or higher (at/above 90th percentile for normative samples) within each domain.
b
The SES index is based on the first component scoring coefficients from a principal component analysis of maternal education, total household income, and child’s health insurance status/type. The index is estimated for cases with complete data on all these characteristics and on behavioral outcomes.
