  • aOR = adjusted odds ratio; FPL = federal poverty level; ref = reference group.

  • Notes: Sample size reflects 71 missing cases; multinomial logistic regression analysis. The –2 log likelihood was 3,740; degrees of freedom = 22; Nagelkerke = 0.234.

  • a Reference category is not at all/not too much trust.

  • b Scale of 1 to 5, excellent to poor.
