Tests for Modifications in Associations Between Potential Care Network Size and Physician Visit Outcomes Measured at Baseline and End Wave

Race/ethnicity × Size of potential care network
Baseline 2019
Fully adjusted model + Interaction
Have a usual source of care F(2, 55) = 3.99, p = .0241 F(2, 55) = 3.60, p = .0339
Visit physician in past year F(2, 55) = 0.52, p = .5999 F(2, 55) = 0.50, p = .6089
Had someone sit with respondent at physician visit F(2, 55) = 0.79, p = .4587 F(2, 55) = 0.89, p = .4181
Provided help with getting on the exam table, dressing, and undressing F(2, 55) = 0.05, p = .9475 F(2, 55) = 1.54, p = .2234
Reminded about things respondent wanted to ask or tell the physician F(2, 55) = 0.45, p = .6378 F(2, 55) = 1.39, p = .2585
Asked or told the physician things for the respondent F(2, 55) = 1.04, p = .3599 F(2, 55) = 0.05, p = .9501
Helped respondent understand what the physician was saying F(2, 55) = 0.32, p = .7262 F(2, 55) = 0.04, p = .9573
Race/ethnicity × Proportion of PCNMs involved with helpa
Baseline 2019
Fully adjusted model + Interaction
Have a usual source of care F(2, 55) = 2.90, p = .0635 F(2, 55) = 3.47, p = .0381
Visit physician in past year F(2, 55) = 6.44, p = .0031 F(2, 55) = 0.70, p = .4987
Had someone sit with respondent at physician visit F(2, 55) = 0.31, p = .7339 F(2, 55) = 1.83, p = .1700
Provided help with getting on the exam table, dressing, and undressing F(2, 55) = 0.16, p = .8563 F(2, 55) = 0.43, p = .6526
Reminded about things respondent wanted to ask or tell the physician F(2, 55) = 0.20, p = .8159 F(2, 55) = 0.65, p = .5284
Asked or told the physician things for the respondent F(2, 55) = 1.00, p = .3757 F(2, 55) = 0.56, p = .5762
Helped respondent understand what the physician was saying F(2, 55) = 0.11, p = .8979 F(2, 55) = 0.93, p = .3992

Notes: Models are adjusted for age, sex, education, dementia severity (probable vs. possible dementia), insurance, income, count of comorbid conditions, PHQ-2, and GAD-2. Models are adjusted for % of individuals in network providing help when race/ethnicity × size of potential care network is considered, and for size of potential care network when race/ethnicity × proportion of PCNMs involved with help is considered. PCNM = potential care network members; PHQ-2 = Patient Health Questionnaire two-item depression screening; GAD-2 = Generalized Anxiety Disorder two-item screening.
