Note: Results of cumulative link mixed models. Includes random intercepts for individuals and households. Years of analysis = 2005–2011. n=38,450 person-years; 11,036 unique individuals. Race reference category = White. Degree reference category = Less than high school. All wealth variables transformed via an inverse hyperbolic sine (IHS) and inflated to 2015 U.S. dollars via the Consumer Price Index.
