Wald χ2= 6.9, p = n.s.

Note: Percentages are based on weighted data, with unweighted N’s for children ages 0–11 (insurance) and 3–11 (physician). The Wald log-linear χ2 test for odds ratios is reported, with p-values based on an adjustment for the degrees of freedom (i.e. to transform the test statistic into Wald Fadjusted). Inferences from these tests are identical to those for design-corrected Rao-Scott χ2 tests. Asterisk notation is used to denote the significant differences between 2013–14 and each prior year: + p <.10, * p<.05, ** p<.01, *** p<.001.
