P for interaction between household mold and child’s sex <0.10. P for interaction between household pesticide use and child’s sex >0.15.

Adjusted for child’s age, sex, race/ethnicity, insurance type, household highest education, poverty status, family structure, household smoker, primary caregiver’s self-reported mental and emotional health status, and mutually adjusted for household mold and pesticide use as exposures of interest. P for interaction between household mold and child’s sex <0.001. P for interaction between household pesticide use and child’s sex >0.15.
