Notes: Unstandardized estimates based on 10 multiple imputation data sets. Estimates incorporate sample weights and adjust for standard errors for survey design. The estimates for occurrence are log odds; the estimates for severity are regression coefficients. Models adjust for demographics and adult socioeconomic status and lifestyle factors. Each dash (–) in the first column refers to a relationship between the predictor variable and the outcome variable.

***p < .001, **p < .01, *p < .05.
