N differs in different models due to missing data. In model 6, facilities with 0% or 100% prevalence of each outcome were automatically dropped when estimating fixed-effects models. Sensitivity analysis has been done by repeating Models 1 to 5 on the samples used for Model 6. Estimation results are similar. Sensitivity analysis results are available upon request.
Odds ratios for individual-level race= Non-Hispanic Black(reference = Non-Hispanic White)
Goodness of fit is evaluated based on the fixed-effects models (Model 6).
