Perceived school safety: 0 = never or rarely felt safe, 1 = sometimes, usually, or always felt safe. Estimates from Model 1 in Table 2 are presented. The last digit of parameter subscripts represents survey cycle g: 1 = 2003 British Columbia Adolescent Health Survey (BCAHS), 2 = 2008 BCAHS, 3 = 2013 BCAHS. γ11 = γ12 = γ13. Factor structures (ΛW and ΛB), thresholds (τB), residual variances and covariances are omitted from the table for simplicity. See Electronic Supplementary material for all parameter estimates.
