Demographic and Access to Care Predictors of Uncorrected Refractive Error (RE) in the Proyecto VER Study Population Based on Multiple Logistic Regression Models

	Uncorrected RE in at Least 1 Eye N=1,018	Uncorrected RE in Both Eyes N=430
Variables	OR (95% CI)	OR (95% CI)
Acculturation (per unit decrease)¶	1.21 (1.09–1.35)	1.25 (1.08–1.45)
Education
6 years or less	1.61 (1.19–2.16)	1.79 (1.15–2.76)
More than 6 years to 12 years	1.38 (1.06–1.78)	1.35 (0.91–2.00)
More than 12 years	1	1
Lack of Insurance (in past year)	1.36 (1.14–1.62)	1.43 (1.13–1.81)
Income (</>$20,000)§	1.38 (1.14–1.68)	1.55 (1.18–2.05)
Time Since Last Care Visit€
Less than 6 months	1	1
6 months to 1 year	1.17 (0.91–1.49)	1.27 (0.91–1.80)
More than one year	1.36 (1.11–1.67)	1.61 (1.23–2.11)

CI indicates confidence interval. OR indicates odds ratio. Bolded ORs achieved statistical significance (α<0.05).

^¶Acculturation was measured using the short-form Cuellar Acculturation Scale and has score range 1–5. Index score <2 was considered low acculturation.

^§Including wages, salary, self-employment, and any other source of income, was the total combined family income during the last 12 months, that is, yours and that of any family members living in this household, more or less than $20,000?

^€How long has it been since you last saw or talked to a medical doctor or other health professional about your health?
