Age and Multivariate-Adjusted Associations Between Race/Ethnicity (exposure) and Concern About the Risk of Getting COVID-19

	Non-Hispanic White (reference group; N = 43 647)	Asian (N = 1 010)		Hispanic/Latina (N = 1 072)		Non-Hispanic Black/African American (N = 2 763)
Outcome	N	N	RR (95% CI)	N	RR (95% CI)	N	RR (95% CI)	p Value
Concern about the risk of getting COVID-19 (somewhat/very vs not at all)
Age and region-adjusted*	43 547	1 009	1.20 (1.16, 1.25)	1 064	1.01 (0.91, 1.05)	2 755	1.06 (1.03, 1.09)	<.0001
Multivariate-adjusted†	39 412	913	1.21 (1.17, 1.26)	962	1.04 (0.99, 1.09)	2 466	1.07 (1.04, 1.10)	<.0001

Notes: COVID-19 = coronavirus disease 2019.

^*Relative risks (RRs), 95% confidence intervals (CIs), and p values are adjusted for age and region of residence (Midwest, Northeast, South, and West) at the time of the COVID-19 survey. The p value is from a Wald Chi-square test assessing possible differences in the RR by race or ethnicity.

^†Relative risks (RRs), 95% confidence intervals (CIs), and p value are adjusted for age and region of residence (Midwest, Northeast, South, and West) at the time of the COVID-19 survey, education level, income, number of comorbidities, exposure to someone suspected of or diagnosed with COVID-19, having a family member or friend die from COVID-19, and experiencing difficulty getting routine medical care during the pandemic. The p value is from a Wald Chi-square test assessing possible differences in the RR by race or ethnicity.
