Note: The bivariate analyses regress the dependent variable on a single predictor (including categorical predictor variables). Although the coefficients from these models are shown in one column, they come from separate regressions. The 2021 dataset was combined with the 2018 dataset and survey year was controlled for in the multiple logistic regressions. See S1 File for additional analyses.
