Notes: The table uses two different samples: the full population of children born in Norway between 1988 and 2007, for whom health is measured and parents are observed (Columns 1 and 2), and the subsample of children included in our main analyses (Columns 3 and 4). For each sample, the table shows means (and standard deviations) of background and health characteristics. Children’s GP or ER visits and related diagnoses and treatments are measured between ages 13 and 18, and parents’ health is measured between ages 25 and 30. MH denotes mental health.
