a Estimates relating adverse birth-outcome exposures to participants’ conditional odds of eviction were calculated with piecewise logistic regression with 5,655 observations contributed by 2,115 children in the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study cohort. Eviction, the outcome, is rare; thus, odds ratios approximate hazard ratios. P values are from 2-sided tests.
