p<.05; **p<.01; ***p<.001.

a

Each column represents a multivariate logistic regression model that includes independent variables listed in the first column.

b

Column totals within each characteristic do not add up to the total number of women reporting the barrier due to missing values.

c

Age included in model as a continuous variable.

d

Independent variable not included in regression due to its endogenous relationship with the outcome variable.

e

An initial model (not shown) included the income variable, resulting in no statistically significant predictors; therefore, we excluded this variable as it was correlated with employment. New estimates are presented in Model 3.

OR: Adjusted Odds Ratio, CI: Confidence Intervals.
