^†Gender was coded (0 = male, 1 = female); Race/ethnicity was coded (0 = non-white, 1 = white non-Hispanic); Child SES and Adult SES were coded with higher values reflecting higher SES; Neg family climate was coded with a higher value reflecting higher family dysfunction; NEIGH-low education, NEIGH-unemployment, NEIGH-public asst, NEIGH-poverty, and NEIGH-subjective were coded with higher values reflecting greater neighborhood disadvantage; NEIGH-income was coded with a higher value reflecting greater median family income; POS variables were coded with higher values reflecting a higher number of positive change events
