Notes. Wald Χ2 (14) = 1892.53***, Pseudo R2 = 0.1977. OR = odds ratio, RSE = robust standard error, CI = confidence interval, LL = lower limit, UL = upper limit, FCP = family care plan. The racial categories used in the notification have been collapsed into the noted mutually exclusive categories.
Interpret OR values as follows: (OR-1)*100 = % change in odds of receiving any FCP for every unit increase in predictor variable, e.g., (.881–1)*100 = 11.9% decrease in odds of a safety concern for Black versus White mothers.
