Note. N = 6963. CR = Cumulative Risk. β = standardized regression coefficients. OR = Odds Ratio. Girls = 0 and Boys = 1.
p < .05.
p < .01.
p < .001.
The CR Index that ranged from 0 to 3 was used in these analyses.
Because Gender is a binary independent variable, the STDY Standardization values are reported for all continuous outcome variables (Muthén & Muthén, 1998 – 2012).
