Abbreviation: NDI, Neighborhood Deprivation Index; Q, quartile.
a
NDI scores range from −3.6 to 2.8, with higher values indicating greater neighborhood deprivation. Analysis of variance compared mean NDI scores across different racial and ethnic groups; results indicate P < .001.
b
The χ2 tests compared categorized NDI quartiles (Q1 least disadvantaged, Q4 most disadvantaged) by race and ethnicity; results indicated P < .001.
c
Other includes American Indian, Alaska Native, multiracial, and unknown.
