RD, Relative difference
Adjusted for age, sex, race/ethnicity, degree type, first generation college student, and financial aid
Relative differences are interpreted as the percentage difference between each group and the reference group (i.e. high food security)
Units are ounce equivalents
Units are cup equivalents
Units are teaspoon equivalents
Significantly different from high food security after Tukey-Kramer adjustment for multiple comparisons
Significantly different from marginal food security after Tukey-Kramer adjustment for multiple comparisons
Significantly different from low food security after Tukey-Kramer adjustment for multiple comparisons
