	SBS Symptoms Summary Score		Children's Asthma Attack
Model	Effect Estimate (95% CI)	P	OR (95% CI)	P

Pests	1.19 (0.58, 1.81)	< .001	6.63 (2.21, 19.87)	< .001
3
Green housing	−0.83 (–1.60, −0.07)	.033	1.02 (0.31, 3.37)	.968
Mold	0.65 (–0.15, 1.46)	.117	1.00 (Ref)

Note. CI = confidence interval; OR = odds ratio; SBS = sick building syndrome. Model 1 shows the effect of green housing in primary models adjusted only for season. Model 2 illustrates the effects of the environmental indices maintained in a forward selection procedure. Model 3 represents model 2 with the reintroduction of a variable for living in a green home.
