Table 4.

Odds of being reported for juvenile delinquency after age 14 for children on private well water, compared to children with community water

Outcome Model 1: Full dataset (n = 13,580)* Model 2: Quasi-experimental matched dataset (n = 3,898)*,
Any delinquency 1.13 (1.05 to 1.21) 1.21 (1.05 to 1.40)
Serious delinquency 1.16 (1.06 to 1.27) 1.38 (1.10 to 1.73)

*Estimated from product of coefficient on well water in Table 1 and coefficient on log of blood Pb in Table 2

1,949 children in the dataset relying on private well water were matched to 1,949 with community-supplied water on race, biological sex, age at time of blood test, blood test year, year home was built, and home value quartile.
