Logistic regression models showing associations between childhood and adolescent weekday television viewing and more than a total of at least 6 months of unemployment between 18 and 32 years Study members in New Zealand between 1972 and 2005.

OR=odds ratios and represent the likelihood of total of at least 6 months unemployment for each hour of television viewing versus less than 6 months of unemployment; unemployment is not necessarily continuous. 95%CI= 95% confidence interval of the odds ratio. For model 1, n=454 and n=464 for female and male Study members respectively. For model 2, n=438 and n=455 for female and male Study members respectively.
