Note. OR = odds ratio; CI = confidence interval. Percentages were weighted to the US population. Unweighted sample sizes were as follows: US-born White: 24 742; US-born Latino: 2187; immigrant non-Latino White: 848; immigrant Latino: 2149. Models also included health status, gender, age, mental health status, education, marital status, family income, and work status.
