Data are presented as weighted percentage (95% confidence interval)

P values were obtained by multivariate logistic regression, adjusted for age, sex, ethnicity, education level, and income level, where appropriate

Education level was classified as low (less than a high school degree), middle (high school graduate/GED or some college/AA degree), or high (college graduate or above)

Income level was classified as low (poverty income ratio (PIR) < 1.3), low middle (PIR ≥ 1.3 and < 1.85), high middle (PIR ≥ 1.85 and < 3), or high (PIR ≥ 3)
