NOTE: χ2 = chi-square statistic reflecting overall model fit (p > .05 indicates a good fit); df = degrees of freedom; CFI = Comparative Fit Index (≥ .90 indicates a good fit); TFI = Tucker-Lewis Index (≥ .90 indicates a good fit); RMSEA = Root Mean Square Error of Approximation (≤ .05 is considered a very close fit; .05 – .10 is considered a moderate fit); WRMR = Weighted Root-Mean-Square Residual (used for binary outcomes, ≤ .9 is considered a good fit); SRMR = Standardized Root-Mean-Square Residual (used for continuous outcomes, ≤ .08 is considered a good fit). β = standardized regression coefficient; T = Wave 1; T2 = Wave 2; T3 = Wave 3; T4 = Wave 4; T5 = Wave 5; T6 = Wave 6; CEV = childhood exposure to violence. Models are tested with the intercept set at each time point. Note that in quadratic models, the slope also changes over time, whereas the slope is constant in the probit model.
