Notes. Due to high correlations among childhood exposure to violence variables, we ran separate analyses for each independent variable. (a) refers to main effects models and (b) refers to two-way interaction models. Each model included covariates of socio-demographic characteristics (gender, race, age, educational attainment, and total household income), single parenthood, and treatment group status. Unstandardized coefficients are reported with standard errors in parentheses.
Significance levels are denoted as p <.10
p < .05
p < .01
p < .001.
