Bolded values refer to ORs with 95% CIs that exclude 1. Model 1 is adjusted for survey year only. Model 2 adds age to Model 1. Model 3 adds other demographic factors (i.e., nativity, geographic region, and relationship status) to Model 2. All models account for the complex survey design.

OR, odds ratio.
