The aggregation of adult economic-burden outcomes. The polychoric correlations in Panel A show that high-cost group members in one sector were significantly more likely to re-appear as high-cost in other sectors. Panel B shows that the distribution of high-cost individuals across multiple sectors deviated from the expectation of a random distribution, χ2 (7, N = 940) = 2103.44, p < 0.001, with excesses at the two tails (i.e., there are more people than expected who do not belong to any high-cost group and there are more people than expected who belong to multiple high-cost groups). The expected distribution is based on the assumption that the high-cost groups were independent and did not overlap beyond chance. The observed:expected ratios in each cell are: 1.83, .80, .71, .52, 1.45, 5.09, 16.89, 120.53, 439.47.
