Logistic Regression Results Examining Youth and Parent Expectations and Predictors of Post-School Outcomes

Postsecondary Outcome Predictor	Postsecondary Education OR (99% CI)	Independent Living OR (99% CI)	Paid Employment OR (99% CI)	Not Receiving SSI OR (99% CI)
Parent postsecondary education expectation	1.96*** (1.9 – 2.0)
Youth postsecondary education expectation	3.03*** (3.0 – 3.1)
Parent independent living expectation		1.28** (1.2 – 1.3)
Youth independent living expectation		2.26*** (2.2 – 2.3)
Parent financial independence expectation			2.56*** (2.5 – 2.6)	5.13*** (4.9 – 5.3)
Youth financial independence expectation			1.18*** (1.1 – 1.2)	1.08*** (1.0 – 1.1)

Notes. Four total logistic regression models were run, one for each postsecondary outcome. Analyses were weighted using sampling weights designed for any wave. Respective parent and youth expectations, along with covariates (gender, age, race/ethnicity, and receipt of free/reduced meals) were included in all models. SSI, Supplemental Security Income. OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval.
