Among 385 parents with preschool-aged children recruited via social media
aAll models also adjusted for child age, race, ethnicity and gender, parent age and education level, annual household income, homeownership status, and the number of adults and children under the age of 12 years in the home
bAdjusted beta coefficient from a linear regression model. Adjusted R2 = 0.17
cAdjusted relative risk (RR) and 95% confidence interval from a Poisson regression model with robust standard error estimates
dP for linear trend based on simple linear regression fitting point estimates on quartile medians
