Note: Analyses are unweighted and done on imputed data. All PSM controls (see Table 2) are included in model. Bootstrapped standard errors in parentheses. Significance levels are the following: † p<0.1; * p<.05; ** p<.01; *** p<.001 (two-sided). In order to maintain correct temporal ordering, boys who experienced first-time paternal incarceration between Year 5 and Year 9 were excluded (N=73); an additional 44 boys were lost due to missing data on the Year 9 outcome.
