Notes:

All models control for mother’s race, age, and education, father’s age and education, union status, household composition, child characteristics, maternal mental health, paternal incarceration, health behaviors, nativity, and public housing

Sample sizes for schedule changers vary slightly by imputation. Reported observations reflect the average number of schedule changers across imputations.

Lagged DV model predicts age 5 anxious behavior, controlling for age 5 work schedule, demographics, and age 3 anxious behavior
