Table 3. Odds ratio (ORs) and 95% confidence interval (CI) in statistical modeling to test the effects of cumulative frequency of geographic relocation (CFGR) with self-rated mental health.

aOnly final models are presented for inferences regarding the 3 CFGR categories (categorical comparisons).
bAdjusted model 1: adjusted for demographic characteristics by propensity score analysis.
cAdjusted model 2: adjusted for social network support.
dAdjusted model 3: adjusted for residential environmental satisfaction.
