NOTES: Cross tabulations were run to produce wieghted prevalence estimates by race/ethnicity. Differences among racial/ethnic groups were tested using logistic regression analysis in which race/ethnicity was dummied and white was used as the reference category. All logistic regression models controlled for gender, age, marital status, income, education, and region. Tests of differences between specific racial/ethnic subgroups groups were only conducted if the overall test of race (joint test of race categories) was significant (p<0.05) and only signficant differences are presented.

--- Overall test of the effect of race on the likelihood of the correlate among CODs was not statistically significant.
