Note: Race: 1 = Black/African American; 0 = White/European American. Gender: 1 = Female; 0 = Male. Cumulative adversity = sum of unique adverse experiences; overall adversity = cumulative adversity X adversity severity X adversity chronicity. Psychosocial risk = sum of psychosocial risk factors (less than a Bachelors degree + unemployed + non-optimal social functioning); health risk = sum of health risk factors (any amount of smoking + non optimal drinking + poor diet + minimal exercise).
