Model 1 is adjusted for poverty level, sex, age, race, family structure; a sensitivity analysis conducted with both income group→s, found that removing persons who endorsed the financial hardship ACE did not meaningfully alter estimates. As such, estimates from the full sample (including those who endorsed the financial hardship ACE) are presented here.
