Coefficients represent percentage-point differences in probability of outcome (95% CI; P value). Models additionally controlled for: age, marital status, income, education, self-rated health, cancer history, census division, urbanicity, Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) isolation and meaning scores, other device categories, internet satisfaction levels, health numeracy, and county-level characteristics.
