Note: Children are cross-classified by neighborhoods and by clinic. For the fixed effect estimates, odds ratios (O.R.) are presented along with 95% confidence intervals. The intercept is a parameter estimate presented with its standard error in parentheses. Random effect estimates are presented as parameters and 95% confidence intervals.

Note: NHW: non-Hispanic white; NHB: non-Hispanic black; H: Hispanic; A: Asian.
