^*The estimated OR in the cells represent abbreviated output from a series of logistic regression models specifying the column header as the dependent variable and the row header as the primary explanatory variable of interest. Thus, the table represents the output from six regression models in total. Adjusted estimates represent abbreviated output from logistic regression models including covariate adjustment for age, sex, race/ethnicity, marriage status, number of children in household, number of adults in household, income and education.
