Note: Results show survey-weighted logistic regression results adjusting for age, sex, race/ethnicity, marital status, education, urban vs. rural residence, presence of chronic conditions, and state. Odds ratios were converted to predicted probabilities using marginal standardization for ease of interpretability. Adjusted differences with 95% CIs are bolded if they did not cross zero
