The above link will take you to your editing file. Please do not remove anything from this editing file!! You will only add your code and work to this file.
1.1 Purpose
The purpose of this lab is to fit a multiple logistic regression model and practice how we would interpret our results for this study.
1.2 Grading
This lab is graded out of 12 points. The TAs will go through and grade your lab. They will make sure each section is complete and will follow the rubric below. I have instructed them that completion and clear effort is all that is needed to receive 100%. Nicky will go through the labs to give you feedback.

Answers are thoughtful, but lack the clarity needed to easily integrate into the final report. | Answers demonstrate some understanding of research context and investigation of the data. Answers are fairly thoughtful, but lack connection to the research. | Answers demonstrate some understanding of research context and investigation of the data. Answers seem rushed and with minimal thought. | Answers lack understanding of research context and investigation of the data. Answers seem rushed and without thought. |

2 Lab activities
I have left it up to you to load the needed packages for this lab.
2.1 Restate research question
Please restate your research question below using the provided format (1 sentence). You can change the wording if you’d like, but please make sure it is still clear. It’s repetitive, but it helps me contextualize my feedback as I look through your lab.
In this study, we will investigate the association between food insecurity and ________.
2.2 Fit a multiple logistic regression model
Fit a main effects model with 5 of your covariates. This will not necessarily be your final model, but we can construct interpretations and code that will be useful in your final model.
2.3 Present the odds ratio in a table
Use the tbl_regression() function to make a table of the odds ratios from your fitted model.
2.4 Present the odds ratio in a forest plot
Use the code from Lesson 10 to make a forest plot of the odds ratio from your fitted model.
2.5 Interpret the odds ratio for your main covariate
Interpret the odds ratio(s) for the covariate from your research question. Make sure to include the 95% confidence intervals and what other variables you adjusted for.
