All models adjusted for age (18–34, 35–49, 50–64, 65+ years), sex, marital status (married, never married, widowed/separated/divorced), education (<12, 12, 13–16, 17+ years) and household poverty (<100% poverty limit, ≥100% poverty limit).

Multilevel random-effects models included random effects for metropolitan statistical areas and census tracts.
