Notes: Estimates shown as odds ratios. Models are estimated separately for each interaction by outcome. All models are estimated using ordinal logistic regression except for binary outcomes (“Talk to family/friends everyday” and “Civic engagement”) which are estimated with logistic regression. Models control for all variables included in Table 2.
