  1. Note: Coefficients for each subtype of child maltreatment come from separated regressions. Regressions in Heckman outocme equation with controls including gender, race, age, age squared, education level, marital status, home language, household size, female-headed household, mother’s education and household per capita income. Controls in Heckman selection equation are the same elements plus “have a child” and “in school”. “low” and “high” refer to low frequency and high frequency respectively.
