| Variable | Base model, OR [95% CI] | Separate models, OR [95% CI] | Combined model, OR [95% CI] | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| White (ref = black) | 1.79* [1.17, 2.73] | 1.77* [1.16, 2.70] | 1.78* [1.17, 2.73] | 1.76* [1.15, 2.69] |
| Worry judged | — | 1.44 [0.98, 2.11] | — | 1.50† [1.01, 2.23] |
| Trust doctor’s judgment | — | — | 1.15 [0.82, 1.62] | 1.23 [0.87, 1.74] |
| R 2 | .14 | .15 | .15 | .15 |
Note: OR = odds ratio; CI = confidence interval; worry judged = when visiting the doctor, worry that the doctor or medical staff judged them because of their race, ethnicity, gender, age, weight, religion, financial situation, or some other reason. Odds ratios adjusted for age, gender, education, marital status, self-rated health, hospitalization, outpatient surgery, and/or nursing home stay in prior 2 years, regular health care provider, body mass index, current smoker, log household income, and log household net wealth.
