Note.
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.
After using the Bonferroni adjustment by dividing the alpha level by 10 (the number of contrasts), the contrasts with p-value less than 0.005 are significant (°). Contrasts with conventional p-value less than 0.5 are not marked by asterisk.
