a
Linear regression unstandardized coefficients
b
Binary logistic regression coefficients (not odds ratios) Bolded models control for child’s age at Wave 3. Subsequent models add specified variables to the previous row.
“Controls” include control variables specified in the data section, as well as paternal age and coresidence.
R2 is for models including maternal and paternal age, selection, controls, and resources.
Analyses account for sample design effects.
