Notes: Model 1 adjusts for race/ethnicity, gender, nativity, region, urbanicity, family structure (wave I), family SES (wave I), and age (wave IV). Model 2 further adjusts for depressive symptoms, somatic symptoms, victimization, and self-rated health (all in wave I). Model 3 further adjusts for difficulties in school, academic expectations, and GPA in most recent academic term (all in wave I). PP=predicted probability. PPj - PPref is the difference in PP between group j and the referent group (opp. sex youth & adult). These are marginal effects. All variables centered at grand mean.
