Note: These items were not asked of the 2006 cohort in 2006, but were asked of both cohorts in 2008. Variable names are given in the “name” column. The FDR-adjusted p is the p -value adjusted for the False Discovery Rate. Adjustments were made using the procedures of Benjamini and Hochberg (1995). See text for more details.
