Estimates are weighted using NSHAP Wave 1 respondent level weights (adjusted for attrition and selection at Wave 2). All models are survey-adjusted and include controls for Wave 1 self-rated physical and mental health, which are not significant and not shown due to space constraints. Applies only to respondents with at least one child network alter at Wave 1.
