Notes: We bootstrapped 95 percent confidence intervals (available in the full version of this exhibit in Appendix D, which can be accessed by clicking on the Appendix link in the box to the right of the article online), by sampling stratum. Relative risks (RR) were computed from multinomial logit models that adjusted for age, race/ethnicity, language of interview, education, income as percentage of federal poverty level, minor children in household, town/rural residence, employment status/work hours, working for a firm with more than 100 employees, industry (in employed group), citizenship, and survey year. Employed group excludes self-employed. Samples include bisexuals. PP is predicted probability. ESI is employer-sponsored insurance.
