[1] P-values for ‘Mean (StdDev)’ rows obtained from a t-test. Adjusted mean differences and the corresponding p-values obtained from a regression model with the score of interest as the outcome, primary language as the explanatory variable and controlling for medical and socioeconomic factors. Adjusted mean differences are calculated as the difference of the Spanish as a primary language group compared to the English as a primary language group.
