Table 3.

We fit generalized estimating equations with robust standard errors and quasi-poisson outcome distribution to estimate predictors of the total number of non-household contacts amongst all households surveyed in the study (N = 1967)

We fit three adjusted models, each adjusting for age, race/ethnicity, household income, number of household members, and study wave. We additionally included the predictor for whether more or less adults worked from home, and whether a household member was vaccinated in model 2 and 3, respectively

1Missing values of whether more adults work from home during shelter in place (3.9%; 76/1967%) were multiply imputed from five independent data-sets using Amelia II
