Emergency department use by citizenship status among U.S. adults 18-years and older. Data from the medical Expenditure Panel Survey (2000–2008).

Note 1: “FB-Citizens” indicates foreign-born citizens (i.e., naturalized), and USB stands for US-born citizens

Note 2: Panel (a) Presents unadjusted trends in emergency department use by citizenship status among U.S. adults 18-years and older.

Note 3: Panel (b) presents the predicted probabilities of emergency department use among U.S. adults 18-years and older by citizenship and insurance status. Predicted values are based on logistic regression model using data from the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (2000–2008). E(pr) indicates the expected 12-month probability of emergency department use. The straight lines present the average unadjusted probability of use for the overall sample, as well as by citizenship grouping. The point estimates represent fully adjusted expected probabilities and their 95% confidence interval by citizenship and insurance status.
