Note: CI = confidence interval; SE = standard error. Ordinary least square regressions for continuous variables. Logistic regressions for dichotomous dependent variables. Regressions include controls for sex, race/ethnicity, and age, whether the parents ever received welfare or food stamps during the participant's childhood, whether the participant ever attended Head Start, whether the mother was employed during the participant's childhood, mother's highest grade of school completed, and quarter of the year the participant was interviewed.
