AOR adjusted odds ratio, CI confidence interval
‡We reduced the significant level to 0.01 due to a relatively large sample. Boldface: p < 0.01
aRace/ethnicity information were not available in some states in some years, which were coded into unknown category
bHospitalizations with missing values or zero trend weight were excluded. The regression model included all variables listed in the first column and controlled for survey year
cAny mental health disorder included adjustment disorders, anxiety disorders, attention-deficit, conduct, and disruptive behavior disorders, impulse control disorders, mood disorders, personality disorders, schizophrenia, psychotic, delusional disorders
