Note: Dummy variables for categories of proximity were used (reference category was 5–10 miles). Adjustment variables include parent’s age, gender, race/ethnicity, spousal status, number of children, and wealth (adjusted by household size), and child’s age, gender, education, working status, and the status of having a minor child. Predicated values for the adjusted model were evaluated by holding all covariates at their mean values of the corresponding analysis sample (N=3,608).
