Age was treated as a categorical variable according to quartiles. Participants were assigned a median household income quartile according to 2012 US Census data. Logistic regression models were adjusted for gender, race, education status, existing mental health status, residing in an apartment during Hurricane Sandy, quartiles of age and quartiles of median household income.
