Note: CI = confidence interval; FPL = federal poverty level; NHW = non-Hispanic white; RRR = relative risk ratio. Bold typeface indicates effect with 95% CI not containing 1. All estimates were computed using survey weights.

aWald tests showed significant (p < .05) differences in RRRs between high-risk women and high-risk men.
