Note: Reference categories are: for Gender, Male; Race/ethnicity, White; Socioeconomic Status – Highest parent education, Professional degree; Socioeconomic Status – Income, More than $100,000. All models are adjusted for age and pubertal status. Models with household income are additionally adjusted for the number of people living in the participant’s household. All interactions among predictor variables in Models 2-4 were tested, respectively; none were significant (data not shown). “Some college” also includes trade school post high school. ns = not significant. The designation in the Highest parent education and Household income rows refers to the overall test for the given variable.
