Table 2 (A) Proportional ordinal logistic regression predicting self-reported COVID-19 vaccination in spring 2022, and (B) multiple linear regressions predicting self-reported trust in science in 2022. All continuous predictors and outcomes are standardized; ethnicity is contrast coded (white = 0.5, non-white = –0.5). 1|2 indicates the odds of being unvaccinated compared to vaccinated or vaccinated and boosted. 2|3 indicates the odds of being vaccinated and boosted compared to unvaccinated or only vaccinated. Note: bolded p-values indicate significant findings.
