Unadjusted models controlled for birth cohort; adjusted models controlled for birth cohort and all measures that contributed to the European American propensity score (family structure, paternal and maternal alcohol history, parental education level, presence of older siblings, and the geocoding variables for neighborhood income, education, and poverty;
