  1. Bold indicates p < 0.05. B coefficient from mixed-effect model. Models represent the abbreviated output from three mixed-effect models, including adjustment for age, sex, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, household income, parent education, parent marital status, data collection period, and study site in addition to all variables listed. Propensity weights from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Study were applied based on the American Community Survey from the US Census.
