In the Massachusetts sample, child race and/or ethnicity was assessed by parent report. In the Minnesota sample, child race and/or ethnicity was derived from the electronic health record. In the Rhode Island sample, child race and/or ethnicity was not available, so parent race and/or ethnicity was assessed from birth records.
