Notes: Model 1: Adjusted for age, sex, education, race/ethnicity, and dementia classification (probable vs. possible dementia). Model 2: Additional inclusion of insurance, income, count of comorbid conditions, PHQ-2, and GAD-2 OR = odds ratio; CI = confidence interval; PCNM = potential care network members; USC = usual source of care; PHQ-2 = Patient Health Questionnaire two-item depression screening; GAD-2 = Generalized Anxiety Disorder two-item screening.
