Note. Chronic Status of Patient is a dichotomous variable=0 if no chronic illness and =1 if 1 or more chronic illnesses; Patient gender is dichotomous with 1=female; Patient minority status is dichotomous with minority race=1 and Caucasian American race=0; all other variables are continuous with ranges presented in Table 1.

^*Correlation is significant at the 0.05 level (2-tailed).
