Maternal education: 1 = less than 7th grade, 2 = junior high school (9th grade), 3 = partial high school, 4 = high school diploma or GED, 5 = technical/secretarial school, 6 = partial college (at least 1 year), 7 = associate’s degree (2 year degree), 8 = college degree, 9 = graduate school; single status = not married, or cohabitating with a romantic partner; have kids was coded as present regardless of whether or not the participant lived with the child.
