Adjusted estimates are based on multivariable logistic regression models with the hesitancy question as the dependent variable and the following variables as independent variables: child’s age, child’s race and ethnicity, household income, number of children in the household, mother’s education, respondent relationship to the child, and MSA of residence.
Race of child was reported by parent or guardian respondent. Children of Hispanic ethnicity may be of any race. Children identified as multiple races had >1 race category selected.
Income and poverty level was defined on the basis of total family income in the past calendar year, and the US Census poverty thresholds for that year specified for the applicable family size and number of children <18 y. Poverty thresholds are available at http://www.census.gov/hhes/www/poverty/data/threshld/index.html.
MSA was based on parent or guardian respondent-reported city, state, county, and zip code of residence by using the MSA definition file (https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/metro-micro.html).
Statistically significant at P < .05 in the APD compared with the referent group.
