Note. Single = single-generation families, multi = multigenerational families, extended = extended families, structure instability = any change in family structure over time. Coefficients (b) represent unstandardized coefficients presented with standard errors (SE) and effect sizes (ES) calculated as odds ratios (OR). Regression analyses controlled for youth age, gender, ethnicity, clinical elevations of depression at baseline, maternal education, and urbanicity.
