Frequencies are based on those respondents with non-missing data on all key variables and who are included in the final models presented in Table 3. Numbers outside parentheses represent the number of respondents that occupy bridging positions between at least one pair of the respective types of kin. Numbers in parentheses represent the total number of unconnected or poorly connected pairs of type in the final sample. (These numbers can be higher than those outside of the parentheses because some individuals report more than one disconnected pair of a given type in their network. For example, a spouse that does not speak with either of their two children would bridge two spouse-child pairs).
