P-values for comparisons of the distributions of gender and race among treatment groups are based on the Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel (general association) stratified by center. P-values for comparisons of the distributions of age, height, weight and drug use among treatment groups are based on a two-way ANOVA model containing the effect of treatment and center.
