Note: ref. = reference, DV = dependent variable. HH = household. Standard errors in parentheses. All models include city fixed-effects. All covariates are measured at the three-year survey with the exception of recent partner incarceration (measured at year five), race/ethnicity, education, lived with both parents at age 15, and immigrant status (measured at baseline). AIC values vary across the five imputed data set and cannot be averaged using Rubin’s rules; the range for each model is shown. The sample for Model 4 is restricted to women whose partners have a history of incarceration; sample size varies by imputed data set.
