CES-D –Center for Epidemiologic Studies Short Depression Scale, ESRD – end-stage renal disease, HCSE – Hurricane Coping Self-Efficacy Scale, MCS – mental component score, PCS – physical component score, SE – standard error
a
P<0.05;
b
P<0.01;
c
P<0.001
d
All scores except the overall are standardized to the age, race, and gender distribution of the overall study population.
e
Percentages within categories may not sum to 100% due to missing values (e.g., lack of patient recall).
