Notes. OR = odds ratio, CI = confidence interval. All effects were age-adjusted across these categories: 25–44, 45–54, 55–64, 65–74 and 75 or older. After age, poverty and payer were accounted for, place (large urban, smaller urban or rural) and race/ethnicity (person of color [32.1%] or non-Hispanic white) did not enter any of the full models. Bolded ORs were statistically significant at p < .05.

a Null interaction was removed from the full model. *p < .10.
