Notes: Each row represents a separate dependent variable. Negative binomial regression models estimate number of specific health conditions. Logistic regression models estimate all other dependent variables. Odds ratios (OR) or coefficients and 95% confidence intervals (CI) presented for household member drug or alcohol problem. Model 1 adjusts for the following: child age, child gender, child born low birth weight, child race/ethnicity, child first- or second-generation immigrant, household language is English, mother age, and parent educational attainment. Model 2 adjusts for all variables in Model 1 and the following: parent married to child's biological father, parent employed, mother in fair or poor health, household member receives welfare, household member receives WIC, household income below the poverty line, household member smokes inside the home, and neighborhood always safe for child. Model 3 adjusts for all variables in Model 2 and the following: parental incarceration, parental divorce or separation, household member mental health problem, parental death, witness of household member abuse, witness of violence, racial discrimination, and income difficulties. All analyses account for complex sampling design. Ns vary across outcome variables (see Table 1). *p < .05, **p < .01, ***p < .001.
