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 />
