Notes: Data are from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, 1979 cohort. For all statistics except observation counts, observations are weighted to represent the population from which the regression sample was drawn.

^aμ is the mean of the characteristic; σ is the standard deviation.

^bCES-D is Center for Epidemiologic Studies–Depression, a standard psychometric indicator of depression risk (see Radloff 1977).

^cObservation counts are unweighted.
