Models expressed per 1 SD of neighborhood cohesion (3.5 units), neighborhood resources (1.4 units), neighborhood poverty (10.6%), or racial segregation (2.6 units). Model 1 adjusted for center, age, race, sex, education, employment status, and family income. Model 2 additionally adjusted for smoking status, alcohol consumption, and depressive symptoms.
