Notes: *Significant, P-value <0.05. ^aPredicted probability of reporting “excellent or very good” self-reported general health status estimated accounting for other variables as reference category (age: 30–39; gender: male; race: non-Hispanic White; education level: some college or AA degree; family poverty income ratio: ≥400%; period: 2013–2014). ^bNote that the corresponding 95% CI and predicted probabilities of poverty income ratio, period and their interactions were not shown in this table, but the related predicted probabilities are presented in Supplementary Figure 1.
