Abbreviation: CI = confidence interval.
Determined by responses of “always,” “most of the time,” “about half of the time,” and “sometimes” to the question, “When calorie information is available in the restaurant, how often does this information help you decide what to order?”
Chi-square tests were used to examine the differences in proportion of menu labeling users by age group, sex, and race/ethnicity in each state, and for the total.
For sex specific values, proportions significantly varied in all states; p<0.05.
Non-Hispanic other race included Asian, Hawaiian or Pacific Islander, American Indian/Alaska Native, and multiracial groups.
Within state comparison, proportions significantly varied by age group; p<0.05.
Within state comparison, proportions significantly varied by race/ethnicity; p<0.05.
Data where the sample sizes were <50 or the prevalence relative standard errors were ≥30% were considered unstable and were not reported.
For all tests, p<0.05.
