Notes: The Sample is restricted to Respondents whose child served the Informant. The analyses are not weighted. Caregiving roles were reported by Child Informants. Nativity status was reported by Respondents at their first interview (i.e., Wave 1 or 5). The table displays cell frequencies and column percentages.
