Probability that a child will be reported to the juvenile justice system by age, water source, and race for a population representative of the children in this sample relying on private well water. Solid lines represent the status quo. Dashed lines represent the potential change in delinquency risk if the children were supplied with treated water from a community supply, in place of their private well water. Black lines represent Black children, and red lines show children of all other races. These predictions were generated using Eqs. 1 through 3. Age at the time of blood test was set at 15 to 19 mo, construction year of house was fixed to 1988 to 1997, and all other independent variables were held constant at median values for the population of children on private wells.
