Table 3. Conditional likelihood estimates of the children’s HR and PEP trajectories from 6 months to 5 years of age by prenatal socioeconomic and social support adversity: Comparison of HR and PEP trajectory slopes (beta coefficient) to zero slopes.
Independent Variable | Dependent Variable: ANS Trajectory Conditional Likelihood Slope (beta coefficient (SE)) | |
Level of PrenatalAdversity | Social Support Adversity predictingHR Reactivity Trajectories (n = 211) | Socioeconomic Adversity predictingPEP Reactivity Trajectories (n = 202) |
No adversity | 2.06 (0.17)a | −0.42 (0.16)a |
One adversity | 1.37 (0.23)a | −0.05 (0.10) |
Two adversities | 1.48 (0.36)a | −0.12 (0.12) |
p<.05 p-value indicates whether the slope was significantly different than zero (no slope).
