^aAnalyses were conducted using the full-scale neighborhood characteristic variables. That is, the average of resident-rated neighborhood characteristic scores for each E-Risk neighborhood. Social cohesion was reverse scored to facilitate comparison with neighborhood disorder.

^bThe full-scale neighborhood characteristic variables were dichotomized at the mean, so that low social cohesion was a score lower than the mean, and high neighborhood disorder was a score higher than the mean.

^cThe full-scale neighborhood characteristic variables were dichotomized at the tertile, so that low social cohesion was a score lower than the 33rd centile, and high neighborhood disorder was a score higher than the 66th centile. All analyses account for the nonindependence of twin observations.
