q2 i1 Each additional level of maternal education raised odds of preschool-developer versus later-developer classification (OR = 1.30 MLSELD; OR = 1.23 Oregon) and of early versus intermediate classification (OR = 1.26 MLSELD). → Montroy Janelle J. 2016

q2 · i1 · associational · r2

Logistic regression in the MLSELD preschool sample found children were "1.30 times more likely" to be preschool versus later developers per additional maternal education level (OR = 1.30), and 1.26 times more likely to be early versus intermediate developers (OR = 1.26). In the Oregon sample the odds ratio was 1.23; no other comparisons were significant.

"In the MLSELD preschool sample, children whose mothers completed one additional level of education (e.g., moving from associate to bachelors) were 1.30 times more likely to be classified as a preschool developer than a later developer."
