Four fathers were born in a country other than the U.S. or Mexico. These fathers made up one immigrant dyad and three mixed-status dyads. Two mother–youth dyads and four father–youth dyads were excluded from all immigrant status analyses as the youth reported being immigrants but parents reported being U.S.-born. Demographic information that did not differ at the p < .05 level is marked by a shared subscript. For % English, the indicator reflects the percentage of participants who chose to be interviewed in English. W1 is Wave 1
