Notes:
aEstimates are unweighted. Analysis excludes respondents who did not provide valid network data at all three rounds. Estimates include only alters who meet the same analytic criteria as those included in Figure 1.
bIncludes any explanation apart from “alter died,” roster demotion, and missing/don’t know/refused, and thus may include “alter and/or R moved away.”
cEstimates may include cases where respondents named particular alters at R1 and R3 but not R2.
