Predictor variables were added in 3 steps: child characteristics, maternal characteristics; and family characteristics. At each step, only variables that were statistically significant (P < .05) were retained in the model. The dashes indicate that the variable was not statistically significant and was therefore not retained in the model. CI, confidence interval; OR, odds ratio.
