NA, not applicable; NS, nonsignificant.
We excluded parent respondents from Boston and Cambridge from the 2013 data, limiting respondents to the 16 communities studied in 2000.
To assess change in responses to specific items over time, we weighted the fraction of respondents from each community, within commercial or Medicaid insurance type, in 2000 to that of the 2013 survey.
Data on race and ethnicity were collected in different categories in the 2 study years. For the multivariable modeling and comparison across years, Latino or Hispanic ethnicity in 2013 was recoded as a category of race. A global P value for all categories is reported.
The Other category includes Native American, Alaska Native, and those who answered multiple categories for race.
