Significant at 0.05 Level

a

There are n=10,123 observations with weights and design effects. Each effect is looked at through a bivariate model.

b

These disorders use information parent SAQs and consequently are limited to the 6483 cases with completed PSAQs

c

Parent education is defined as the maximum number of years of education of either parent. Categories are: 0–11 years, 12 years, 13–15 years, 16+ years

d

Due to sparse data, some models were run with a forward regression logistic model that stepped in two-way interactions included at an entry criterion of p = .95 (i.e., even very small coefficients were entered). The number of degrees of freedom in these models is lower than in the saturated model.
