Note. CI = confidence interval. Sample restricted to first pregnancies occurring between 1995 and 2017. Model also controlled for education level of respondent’s mother, age of respondent’s mother at first birth, whether lived with both biological or adoptive parents since birth, religious affiliation in which respondent was raised, whether respondent was unmarried at first conception, age at interview, year of conception, whether pregnancy occurred within 48 months of interview, and whether respondent had a high school degree at conception (among women aged 20–24 years).
