Asterisks indicate cell departure from expectation, based on cell χ2with 1 degree of freedom. *Indicates cell χ2 significant at P < .05; **P < .01; ***P < .001. Overall χ2 tests are as follows: for gender, χ2 (3) = 10.8, P = .01; for grade, χ2 (3) = 22.9, P < .001; for family structure, χ2 (9) = 112.0, P < .001; for ethnicity, χ2 (9) = 118.3, P < .001; for parental education, χ2 (3) = 38.2, P < .001.
