Differences in vulnerability between poor and non-poor respondents. Non-poor (at or above federal poverty level): Model χ² = 111.9 (39, n = 3,063), p < .001; comparative fit index (CFI) = .94; Tucker-Lewis index (TLI) = .97; root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA) = .025. Poor (below federal poverty level): Model χ² = 53.05 (40, n = 462),p = .08; CFI = .94; TLI = .96; RMSEA = .027. Model shows standardized parameter estimates and controls for sex, age, employment status, and education in predicting depressive symptoms, heavy drinking, and alcohol dependence (nonsignificant covariates removed). ***p <.001.
