Adjusted relative odds (95% CI) of self-reported health (excellent or poor) by number of social supports (0 to 5 or more). Note: Analyses were conducted by level of material wealth (high affluence, n = 5,541; low affluence, n = 2,310). Findings were stratified by level of affluence as it was found to be an effect modifier in the relationship between social supports and self-perceived health. All analyses were adjusted for gender, grade level, and family structure. Tests for linear trend were statistically significant (p < 0.0001).
