Text

Respondents were asked if they experienced any of the following prior to age 18: a caregiver was incarcerated, attempted or completed suicide; respondent lived in a foster home or institution; respondent’s parents divorced or died; respondent saw serious fights at home. To avoid model collinearity due to correlation between items, a binary variable was created to indicate any of these experiences.
