Income: Average census-based median income below $52,517 1.31 (1.06, 1.60) 0.68 (0.37, 1.27) 1.35 (0.94, 1.94) 0.81 (0.39, 1.67) 1.04 (0.59, 1.84)

At least one vulnerability indicator 1.38 (1.09, 1.74) 0.71 (0.42, 1.19) 1.67 (1.30, 2.14) 1.07 (0.61, 1.90) 1.18 (0.75, 1.85)

Note: Relative risk estimates were obtained from unadjusted log binomial GEE models clustering on practice (within site). Confidence intervals (CIs) are based on robust sandwich estimator standard errors.
