Model 1: binary logistic regression with Unhealthy Days as outcome, ACE as predictor, and controlling for age, gender, education, marital status, race/ethnicity, income, community assets, neighborhood issues, neighborhood cohesion as covariates

Model 2: Model 1, adding stress (mediator 1)

Model 3: Model 2, adding sleep disturbance (mediator 2)

N = 151 for model 1,2, and 3

aBootstrapped 95 % confidence intervals based on 1000 bootstrapped samples. All values rounded to two digits.

bIndicates that the coefficient is statistically significant at, at least, the .05 level
