Crude estimate
(n=90)

OR (95%CI)
Adjusted estimate
(n=72)

OR (95%CI)
Vignette 1 “Typical chest pain”
Man seeking help
 Male 1 (Reference) 1 (Reference)
 Female 4.59 (1.59–13.24)** 4.54 (1.21–16.90)**
Woman less likely to seek help
 Male 1 (Reference) 1 (Reference)
 Female 2.23 (0.96–5.20)* 3.26 (1.13–9.41)**
Vignette 2 “Typical heart attack”
Man seeking help
 Male 1 (Reference) 1 (Reference)
 Female 0.59 (0.51–6.72) 0.67 (0.05–9.13)
Woman less likely to seek help
 Male 1 (Reference) 1 (Reference)
 Female 3.56 (0.38–33.14) 2.27 (0.20–25.56)

Adjusted for age, education level, age at migration (acculturation), and self-reported history of chest pain.
