*Coefficients in bold are significantly different from zero, p ≤ 0.05.

**Interactions Included in the models were statistically significant with p ≤ 0.01. For males: All cancers; MD*SEP, SEP*CD, MD* CD, and 2) Obesity related cancers; MD*SEP, SEP*CD, MD*CD, and for females: 1) All cancers: MD*SEP, SEP*CD and 2) Obesity related cancers: Smoking*SEP, Black*SEP, MD*SEP, SEP*CD, Uninsured*CD, Note that the variables name above are abbreviated MD = Physician density, CD = Census Division, SEP = Socioeconomic Position, NH = Non-Hispanic, and ‘Ln’ (natural log) has been removed.

Results for Census Division (CD) and CD*ln Sprawl are given in Table 4.
