\1\Socioeconomic status (SES) was measured by a composite score on parental education and occupations, and family income. The "low" SES group is the lowest quartile; the "middle" SES group is the middle two quartiles; and the "high" SES group is the upper quartile. Data for 2002 for persons reporting more than one race are not shown separately, but are included in totals. NOTE: Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding. Standard errors appear in parentheses.
