* Results are presented as adjusted odds ratios (AOR) with 95% confidence intervals in parentheses. Bolded results are statistically significant (p<0.05).
a. AOR represents the odds of depression associated with a unit increase in scores for each financial health domain (spend, save, borrow, or plan), adjusting for included age, race/ethnicity, educational attainment, employment, marital status, food insecurity, energy insecurity and housing insecurity.
b. AOR represents the odds of fair/poor physical health (vs. good/excellent health) associated with a unit increase in scores for each financial health domain (spend, save, borrow, or plan), adjusting for included age, race/ethnicity, educational attainment, employment, marital status, food insecurity, energy insecurity and housing insecurity.
