a Variables with more than 2 responses have been dichotomized as follows in the logistic regression: Living situation: With children vs Not with family/With family—no children. Worried about contracting Ebola: Never/Once in a while vs Quite often/All the time. Concern about putting family/friends/coworkers at risk: Somewhat/Very concerned vs Not at all concerned. The P values are provided for all variables used in the logistic regression, OR and CIs are provided only when the P values were significant.
b Mean (standard deviation).
c Variables included in the logistic regression.
d Confidence interval not reported due to sampling zero.
