  1. Notes. Postestimation tests were computed for a total of 20 contrasts between the two least educated groups (<HS, HS) and the most educated group (College+). Contrasts of marginal linear predictions were computed in Stata using the contrast command. P-values and 95 % confidence intervals were adjusted for multiple comparisons with the Bonferroni method using the mcompare option
  2. Notes. Statistically significant educational gradients of PTB were observed for white, Chinese (HS vs. College + only), Japanese (HS vs. College + only), Asian Indian (HS vs. College + only), Cambodian, Filipino, and Lao/Thai women. Predicted probabilities estimated from fully adjusted model, including interaction terms between maternal education and race/ethnicity
