Note: We have provided frequencies for categorical variables and means and standard errors for continuous variables. Some numbers may not sum to 100 due to rounding. Similarly, the standard errors for age were slightly above zero, but the rounding masks these values.
Incest includes sexual abuse experiences prior to starting the sixth grade wherein a parent or other adult caregiver touched the child in a sexual way, forced the child to engage in sexual touch, or forced the child to have sexual relations.
Parental drinking is a dichotomous measure capturing whether parents had consumed five or more alcoholic drinks on one occasion in the past month (1 = yes) during Wave I.
The CES-D is scored as follows: <10 indicates no depression, 10-14 indicates mild depression, and >14 indicates severe depressive symptoms.
Scores ranged from 0 to 28. The values presented for depression are mean values.
