Note. CI = confidence interval; OR = odds ratio. All models include Medicaid–no insurance status at birth, any birth complications, infant gender, Medicaid status at infant age 6 mo, minority race/ethnicity status, and single-parent status at infant age 6 mo as covariates.

a

Model estimated using Poisson regression.

b

No. of total emergency medical care episodes (hospital records) = (no. of emergency department visits + no. of hospital overnights).

c

No. of total emergency medical care episodes (parent report) = (no. of emergency medical visits + no. of hospital overnights).

d

No. of emergency medical visits = (no. of emergency pediatric visits + no. of emergency department visits).

e

Model estimated using ordinary least squares regression.

f

Model estimated using logistic regression.

g

Marital relationship conflict = (total relationship conflict − total relationship negotiation).
