Note: 95% Confidence Intervals are in parentheses; a Education is treated as a continuous variable in the models. It has three levels: “high school or below”, “some college”, “college or above”; b Income is treated as a continuous variable in the models. It has three levels: “below 100% FPL”, “100–200% FPL”, “at or above 200% FPL”; *** p < 0.001, ** p < 0.01, * p < 0.05, + p < 0.10 (two-tailed test).
