Note: The percentages are calculated out of number of patients in each row; **Moderate (0.5≥ and <0.8) to large (≥0.8) effect sizes were observed for most demographic categories, except for the “Hispanic or Latino” category (effect size = 0.43 entire sample and 0.40 for NC sample), indicating substantial mean differences in the MCDI between rural and non‐rural participants.
