Note: Due to differences in educational attainment between Vietnamese Americans and non-Vietnamese Americans, an interaction term was added to the model. The reference group is "non-Vietnamese Americans with High School education."

Key: SSB = "information seeking and scanning behaviors"; HS grad "high school diploma or more"; C.I. = "confidence interval";
