WRAT-3R = Wide Range Achievement Test – mathematics portion, S-TOFHLA = Short Test of Functional Health Literacy in Adults
Adjusted for Question, Chart-type, and Site
Odds ratio is for every single-point increase in WRAT-3R or S-TOFHLA score
p<.01
Odds ratio is for each additional year of education
Reference group < $10,000
p <.05
Reference group is public insurance (“no insurance” group was dropped due to model convergence issues with only two in that category).
Odds ratio is for each additional year of age
Odds ratio is for each additional child
Reference group for all listed is Black
