Supplementary notes

"Ever lived with anyone who had a problem with alcohol or drugs is based on responses by a knowledgeable adult, usually a parent, to the survey question, “Did (child) ever live with anyone who had a problem with alcohol or drugs?”
Estimates are based on household interviews of a sample of the civilian, noninstitutionalized U.S. population.
"Disability is defined by the reported level of difficulty (no difficulty, some difficulty, a lot of difficulty, or cannot do at all/unable to do) in 13 core functioning domains: seeing, hearing, mobility, self-care, communication, learning, remembering, concentrating, accepting change, controlling behavior, making friends, anxiety, and depression. Children who are reported to have “a lot of difficulty” or “cannot do at all” in at least one domain of functioning or with “daily” anxiety or depression are considered to have disability."
