Delay in seeking and adherence to medical care score based on five questions; few indicates none or 1 issue; several indicates 2 to 5 issues.

*Model 1. Health care use = discrimination variable of interest (n = 1,408).

^†Model 2. Health care use = discrimination variable, need and enabling (n = 1,210).

^‡Model 3. Health care use = discrimination variable, need and enabling, and predisposing (n = 1,162).

^§P < .05.

Health care use: delay in seeking and adherence to medical advice; discrimination variables: discrimination score, discrimination in getting medical care; need and enabling: income, insurance, regular doctor, medical transportation barriers, perceived health, comorbidities, and depression; and predisposing: age, race, education, and mistrust.
