a

Weighted least-squares (WLS) multivariable regression was used to compute mean health utility scores adjusted for age, income, education, and chronic diseases within race-by gender groups stratified by discrimination scale scores;

b

Tests for trend were computed using aforementioned WLS regression models refitted within the four gender-by-race groups (not stratified by discrimination scores); CI = confidence interval
