Four models were estimated for each material hardship measure, with control variables added in stages. The A models included controls for sociodemographic factors: age, gender, race, marital status, and children under five years old. The B models included further controls for socioeconomic status: education, household income, and employment status; except for models of employment instability where employment status was not included. The C models included further controls for health: poor or fair health, obesity, alcohol use, cigarette smoking, depression, and anxiety. The D models are fully adjusted models, which included a final control for light pollution. For all hardship measures, the difference between the average marginal effects in the C and D models is not statistically significant.
