statistically significant to a level of p < 0.05.

SES/Demographic Adjusted: Adjusted for census division, metropolitan status, number of children age 6-17 per household, head of household age and sex, household income as a percentage of the poverty level (<=100%, 101-249%, 250-499%, >=500%), and head of household education.

Hardship/Home Ownership Adjusted (Model 1): Adjusted for all variables in SES/Demographic adjusted analysis, additionally adjusted for material hardship measures (poor housing quality, crowding, lack of amenities, no vehicle access) and home ownership.
