ACE-I = angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor, ARB = angiotensin receptor receptor blocker, BB = Beta Blockers, HPSA = Health Professional Shortage Area
Adjusted for age, race, gender, education, income, percent of county population below poverty, medication adherence, functional capacity, and depressive symptoms.
Among those with a qualifying condition as defined in Table 1.
Adjusted odds ratio not available due to an insufficient number of individuals to conduct multivariable analyses; unadjusted odds ratio = 0.14 (0.02–1.08).
