Note: Covariates were added as predictors of the class structure. Boldface indicates statistical significance (*p<0.05; **p<0.005). Birth cohort and mother’s education at child’s birth were entered as continuous variables. Health insurance refers to insurance coverage when participants were age 5. Race/ethnicity, as assessed in the publicly available data, was contrast coded into the variables of “Non-Hispanic White”/”Non-Hispanic Black”, and “Hispanic”. Each variable compares the identified race/ethnicity to all other individuals in the dataset. For example, individuals identifying as “Hispanic” are compared to all other individuals in the sample who identified as “Non-Hispanic White” or “Non-Hispanic Black”.

b=unstandardized logit; NH, non-Hispanic.
