Source: Authors’ calculations based on data from the 2012 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System. Notes: Smoothed prevalence estimates of delayed or forgone care were generated via Poisson mixed effect models via the glmmPQL function in the MASS package of R version 3.0.1. We estimated delayed or forgone care within three ethnic groups including: 205,557 non-Hispanic whites within 2,229 counties, 27,215 non-Hispanic blacks within 1,335 counties and 21,993 Hispanics within 1,472 counties.
