Odds ratios with 95% Confidence Intervals from Multivariate Regression
This table reports percentages derived from our multivariate regression. The dependent variables of interest are: “looked down on/treated with disrespect,” “treated unfairly because of race,” and “would have received better care if different race.” The model controls for income, insurance, usual source of care, age, gender and education; for Hispanics and Asians, language was added as an additional control variable.
