A lower level of functional independence was a significant predictor of higher levels …
The effects of sociodemographic variables on the economic behaviour of poorer households in the US and Kenya

Using secondary data analysis from the Washington, DC, Metropolitan Area Drug Study (DC*MADS) (N = 783), the authors examined the relationship of days and …
