Notes: Block 1 consists of demographic variables and household composition; Block 2 comprises family process variables; and Blocks 3 and 4 each consist of a single variable, school enrollment status or relationship experience, respectively. Figures in the “bivariate” column are unadjusted odds ratios; those in the “total effect” column are adjusted for all variables in the same and previous blocks; and those in the “direct effect” column are adjusted for all independent variables. ref=reference group.
