Adjusted for age, sexual orientation, origin (born in France), employment and relationship status

Model 1 high financial hardship (somewhat difficult; very difficult; and extremely difficult) and low financial hardship (not at all difficult and not very difficult)

Model 2 high financial hardship (very difficult and extremely difficult), medium financial hardship (somewhat difficult), and low medium financial hardship (not at all and not very difficult)
