| Model | DII estimate | 95% CI |
|---|---|---|
| Model 1: mixed modela | −0.45 | (−0.85, −0.04) |
| Model 2: 1-to-1 propensity score matched | −0.77 | (−1.40, −0.14) |
| Unadjusted mixed model | −0.44 | (−0.75, −0.12) |
Adjusted for age (in years), education (3 level ordinal scale: 1=high school or less, 2=some college, and 3=college graduate or more), income (4 level ordinal scale: 1= <$10,000, 2=$10,001–$20,000, 3=$20,001–$30,000, and 4= ≥$30,001), self-identified race (3 categories: Black, White, other), SNAP status (recipient versus not), and car available for shopping (yes/no).
