a
The P value represents statistical testing based on Pearson’s chi-squared statistic for comparison of proportions.
b
“Neither,” “Other,” and “Unknown” categories excluded for statistical testing.
c
“Unknown” designates that the field was completed but designed as “unknown” (in contrast from missing data [aka incomplete] fields).
d
“Diverse” refers to a combined group of “Hispanic” and “black” subjects.
e
“Neither” in these categories designates that the subject did not fit into the racial/ethnic category of Hispanic or black and, therefore, could not be classified by this metric.
