All results were from weighted analyses to account for complex survey design.

*

Significant predictors or suspected confounders selected a priori are included in the final model, n = 802 participants were not included due to missing covariates.

There is no difference among African-American, Hispanic, and other races; therefore, these are combined into 1 group (reference).

Education was used instead of income for socioeconomic status because income had high missing data.
