Logistic Regression Generalized Estimating Equations Model Assessing Perceived Racism, Block Group Characteristics, and Testing

Model 1, OR (95% CI) Model 2, OR (95% CI) Model 3, OR (95% CI) Model 4, OR (95% CI) Model 5, OR (95% CI)
Perceived racism 1.68 (1.17, 2.40) 1.67 (1.14, 2.44) 1.59 (1.07, 2.38) 1.72 (1.14, 2.60) 1.64 (1.07, 2.52)
Patient satisfaction 1.00 (0.94, 1.06) 0.99 (0.93, 1.05) 0.99 (0.93, 1.05)
Healthful coping 1.08 (0.91, 1.27)
Negative coping 0.96 (0.89, 1.05)
Passive coping 0.88 (0.78, 1.00) 0.89 (0.78, 1.01)
Symptoms (yes or no) 0.56 (0.34, 0.93) 0.58 (0.35, 0.97) 0.57 (0.34, 0.96)
Previous test (yes or no) 1.88 (0.97, 3.63) 1.77 (0.91, 3.45) 1.78 (0.91, 3.49)
Gender (reference = woman) 0.46 (0.26, 0.81) 0.39 (0.22, 0.71) 0.37 (0.20, 0.69)
Block group 0.26 (0.05, 1.28) 0.34 (0.06, 1.91) 0.32 (0.05, 1.96) 0.32 (0.05, 2.18)

Note. The estimates excluded observations missing data on any variable included in the model. Model 1 was crude; model 2 included perceived racism and block group residential segregation; model 3 excluded stress coping mechanisms; model 4 included passive coping mechanisms; and model 5 included passive, healthful, and negative coping mechanisms.
