**

Significant at 5%

***

Significant at 1%. Control variables included in each regression but not reported were the following baseline information: age, age squared, race, marital status, highest education level, census region, metropolitan statistical area, born in the United States, number of children 5 years of age or younger, number of children between 6 and 17 years of age, physical component score, physical component score squared, co-occurring substance abuse/dependence, co-occurring other psychiatric disorders in each period, changes in education level, changes in marital status, and physical component score at wave II.
