↵* Boldface text indicates P < .05.
↵† Concern about becoming infected with COVID-19. Concern was reported on a 5-point Likert scale (extremely, moderately, somewhat, slightly, not at all). The original (–) threshold divides between moderately/somewhat. The alternative threshold divides between somewhat/slightly.
↵‡ Educational attainment was reported on a 6-point Likert scale (some high school, high school graduate, some college, college graduate, Master's degree and Doctoral/Professional degree). The original (–) threshold divides between College graduate/Master's degree. The alternative threshold divides between some college/college graduate.
↵§ Self-reported health status was reported on a 5-point Likert scale (excellent, very good, good, fair, poor). The original threshold (–) divides between very good/good. The alternative threshold divides between good/fair.
↵‖ Measured in days.
