2004–2012 National Health Interview Survey-Housing and Urban Development (NHIS-HUD) Linked Files, Sample Children and Sample Adults. Estimates based on cases enrolled in HUD at the time of interview, including non-renters and do not know rental assistance responses. All estimates are weighted using the modeled weight (see text) and reported in percentage points. Rate differences were obtained from a logistic regression that included all covariates listed in the table in addition to survey year, family structure, family size, family-level employment, family-level education, and any medical provider visit (complete results are in the eAppendix). Confidence intervals are based on linearized standard errors.
FPL indicates federal poverty level; REF, referent groups.
