1 The two spouse-spouse pair relationships are the spouse-spouse <strong>and</strong> the spouse-spouse-with-children-younger-than-18 pair<br />
relationships. The pair relationships labeled "spouse-spouse" include partner-partner pair relationships.<br />
Covariates in models. After the weights were adjusted using the item response propensity<br />
model within each age group pair, binomial <strong>and</strong> multinomial logistic models were fitted using<br />
the adjusted weights with the response variable defined as in Table 6.7. As noted in previous<br />
sections, the number of covariates at the household level was limited. The pool of covariates<br />
used in the item response propensity model included the following variables:<br />
1. household size (HHSIZE, as defined in Section 6.2.3.1),<br />
2. age category of older respondent (where applicable),<br />
3. race of older respondent, 13<br />
4. gender of older respondent,<br />
5. gender of younger respondent,<br />
6. marital status of older respondent (where applicable), 14<br />
7. marital status of younger respondent (where applicable),<br />
8. education of older respondent (where applicable), 15<br />
9. education of younger respondent (where applicable),<br />
10. employment status of older respondent (where applicable), 16<br />
11. employment status of younger respondent (where applicable),<br />
12. region,<br />
13 Race had four levels: white, black/African American, American Indian/Alaska Native, <strong>and</strong> Asian/Pacific<br />
Isl<strong>and</strong>er.<br />
14 Marital status had four levels for respondents 15 or older: married, widowed, divorced, <strong>and</strong> never<br />
married.<br />
15 Education had four levels for respondents 18 or older: less than high school, high school graduate, some<br />
college, <strong>and</strong> college graduate.<br />
16 Employment status had four levels for respondents 18 or older: full-time employed, part-time employed,<br />
