a

Neighborhood factors were assessed between Exams 1 and 2 (2004–2008)

b

Model 1 adjusts for age, gender and marital status; Models 2, 3 also adjusted for socioeconomic factors; Model 4 is fully adjusted

c

Reference group is less than high school education

d

Between-neighborhood variance was equal to zero in mixed models so results from the individual-level model are presented; models include unconditional Empirical Bayes’ estimate for neighborhood social cohesion and neighborhood violence

Bolded coefficients are significant at p<0.05
