Note: Note: N = 1,523. Missing data are imputed. Estimates are based on weighted data. Standard errors (in parentheses) are adjusted for weighting, clustering, and stratification.

^aOmitted reference group is adolescent attends with neither parent. Results from rotating the omitted religious attendance group revealed no significant differences between attends with one parent and attends with both parents.

^bOmitted reference group is White.

^cOmitted reference group is less than high school.

⁺p = .07,

^*p <.05,
