Parents’ divorce was rated as part of the CAQ. The mother reported whether she had divorced or separated from her partner in the prior year. At age 5, mothers reported whether a divorce occurred in the following time frames of the child’s life: 0–1, 1–4, and 4–5 years old. From ages 5–17, mothers reported annually whether a divorce occurred in the prior year. At age 26, the target participant reported whether he or she had divorced from a spouse in the past year. If no new divorce or separation occurred within the time frame, it was scored as a “0,” whereas it was scored as a “1” if the participant (age 26) or the participant’s mother (age 0–17) divorced or separated within the time frame. The child to adult ratio was calculated as the number of children in the household divided by the number of caregivers when the child was 5 years old.
