a
One-way analysis of variance was used to compare differences in age, BMI, sex, mean hemoglobin A1C, and scores for DNT-5, SNS, BHLS, and S-TOFHLA across racial/ethnic subgroups.
b
Chi-square test was used to compare differences in the highest level of education completed and income across racial/ethnic subgroups.
