Note: Adjusted for age, sex, race/ethnicity, urbanicity, region, parental education, family income, number of biological parents, and parental mental health problems. Neighborhood trust & reciprocity and parent community involvement were reported by parents/caregivers; other social capital indices were reported by adolescents. The reference outcome for each class is no lifetime disorder. Asterisks indicate that the OR for severe disorder is significantly different from the OR for mild/moderate disorder. Units for supportive friendships, family cohesion, school bonding, and extracurricular participation are median absolute deviations from the median, an alternative to the standard deviation that does not assume a normal distribution.
