Values in the table are estimates from the R3STEP logistic regression analyses using Mplus. We adopted the profile structure of the full sample to the split samples. The resultant profile sizes were slightly different from the full sample. Profile sizes shown in this table are from the full sample.

*The direction indicates the difference in the proportion of women. () p < 0.10.
