Notes: The difference between expansion and non-expansion states is statistically significant at p < .05 for all variables. Sampling weights are used in the last two columns to adjust for nonresponse and differential attrition across waves in the sampling

^aSample sizes (in child-waves) are rounded to the nearest 10 as per dataset guidelines.
