Patient Activation scores: range from 1–4 (1=low 4=high)
Data Presented as mean (SD).
P-values derived from F-tests assessing association between mean activation, time spent with clinicians at each level of income, unless otherwise indicated.
*
P-values derived from F-tests assessing whether income modifies the association between mean activation and time spent with clinicians.
