The "Odds Ratio" columns show the progression of the odds ratio from the prior step, for the specific racial/ethnic group, as the next covariate was added to the model.

The "% Change" columns show the change to the odds ratio from the prior step of analysis, for the specific racial/ethnic group, as the next covariate was added to the model.
