a All models are adjusted for age, race-ethnicity, immigrant generation, family structure, number of siblings, and parent education. Each parental influence and adolescent emotional health variable was entered into the model separately. In addition, models for females and males were estimated separately. Estimates were adjusted for survey design effects.
