Table 3.

Parameter estimates and p-values from multiple regression analyses examining the differences between the low and high exposure groups for each of the neurobehavioral outcome measures. Negative differences correspond to poorer performance of the high exposed group compared to the low exposed group, while positive differences indicate the opposite. Items in bold indicate the high exposed group performed significantly worse than the low exposed group.
