*Based on a 602-person sample size. The following variables were included in the backward selection modeling approach: age, sex, race, ethnicity, marital status, smoking status, living with chronic disease, lung problem, work environment during pandemic, practiced mask use since start of pandemic, practiced social distancing since start of pandemic, mean hours/week interacting with virus-positive contact, traveled out of state after February 2020, relationship to virus-positive contact, avoid groups of people, only going outside the home for essential trips, and ever had coronavirus disease symptoms. OR, odds ratio. †Results from the full model, which included all variables, listed in Appendix Table.
