The analysis was weighted for varying intervention random assignment ratios across time and for attrition. All tests were adjusted for youth age, black race, Hispanic ethnicity, gender, site, and clustering at the family level. Dichotomous neighborhood context variables tested with logistic regression models, continuous variables tested with linear regression models. LCI= Lower 95% Confidence Interval; UCI = Upper 95% Confidence Interval.
Sample size varies with missingness on the neighborhood variable, which varies from 3–10%: N=1426 girls, N=1403 boys
Data sources: Boston Neighborhoods Survey (2000); Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods (1994–1995); New York Social Environment Survey (2005). N=878 girls, N=828 boys
