Note: Five hundred ninety-two grown children reported on 1,158 parents, and 399 parents reported on 886 children. Appraisal of support parents provided was rated as follows: 1 = less than would like, 2 = a little less, 3 = about right, 4 = a little more, 5 = more than would like.

a

0 = less support, 1 = intense support (i.e., multiple forms of support every week).

b

0 = female, 1 = male.

c

0 = White, 1 = Black or multiracial.
