^aThe “^” character denotes changes in the given ill-health construct across waves (i.e., the wave 2-level minus wave 1-level). The table combines findings from separately estimated “lagged” and “change score” formulations of the model. Coefficients for non-physical ill-health constructs are from the lagged model-iteration, and do not differ appreciably from their change score model-counterparts

^bEffects of physical ill-health constructs and psychological distress that differ significantly across races are in italicized. Effects of other predictors on specific outcomes may also differ significantly across races; but those significance tests were not performed
