A Control variables in all analyses were: gender, age, household type (single adult, two adults (no children), and household with children), educational level, and living area.
B Reported coefficients are from a Poisson regression (suitable when the dependent variable is a count variable).
C Reported coefficients are from ols regression.
D Reported coefficients are from an ordinal logit regression.
E Reported coefficients are from a logit regression.
