Model 1: unadjusted
Model 2: adjusted for age, sex, race/ethnicity, and health insurance type
Model 3: adjusted for age, sex, race/ethnicity, health insurance type, household FPL, highest household education, household smoking, child having witnessed or heard domestic violence
Model 4: adjusted for age, sex, race/ethnicity, health insurance type, household FPL, highest household education, household smoking, child having witnessed or heard domestic violence, child’s BMI (not collected for children younger than 10 years old), child’s allergy status, and child’s physical activity level
The final model did not achieve converge due to low sample size
