Note. Add Health = National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health; CDP = Child Development Project; GSMS = Great Smoky Mountains Study of Youth; pr = partial correlation estimate; 95% CL = 95% Confidence Limits. Confidence limits were obtained using Fisher's z transformation.

a

When two unusual observations are excluded, pr = .21.

b

When two unusual observations are excluded, pr = .32.
