High connectedness, third quartile value of scale distribution; low connectedness, first quartile value of scale distribution.

^aReference is both low school and family connectedness.

^bEffect sizes are computed from predicted probabilities based on the multivariable logistic models (Tables 4 and 5). As such, they represent nonlinear combinations of estimators for which CIs are not readily available, although these estimates were only produced for outcomes significantly associated with both family and school connectedness in multivariable analyses. These estimates represent connectedness comparisons for an “average” participant in this sample (unweighted) based on mean values for continuous covariates and modes for categorical covariates: white females age 28.5 years who during adolescence had parents who were married, had some college education, and did not receive government assistance. For each estimate, average individuals did not have any relevant baseline risks.

^cAmong participants reporting at least 1 sex partner in the previous 12 months.
