Controlling for parent age, race/ethnicity, language, country of birth, SES, education, health literacy; child age and child chronic disease; and site.

AOR for error comparing parents using teaspoon or tablespoon units, with parent using milliliter-only units as reference group. AORs for parents who used “other” units not shown because of small n.
