CI = confidence interval; non-rec. = non-recreation; OR = odds ratio; SES = socioeconomic status; unwtd = unweighted

1 Influential outliers excluded: 29 excluded from full sample analyses; 22 excluded from parent sample

2 Odds ratios adjusted for age, rural/urban status, living arrangements, and geographic region

3 Each socioeconomic status variable examined separately (not adjusted for other SES variables)

4 Odds ratios adjusted for age, rural/urban status, and geographic region
