Rural residence was associated with 9% significantly higher odds of SCD compared with urban residence after adjusting for sociodemographic and health covariates (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) = 1.09, <i>P</i> = 0.01). There was a negative relationship between education level and SCD, including the association of college degree with 15% lower odds of SCD compared with less than high school degree (aOR = 0.85, <i>P</i> < 0.01).
