Figure 3. — Comparisons of covariates’ proportional mediation of the black-white disparities for septicemia and other causes of death, National Health Interview Survey 1999–2005. The proportions for this graph are calculated by dividing the indirect effect of the age- and sex-adjusted black-white disparity when adjusting for a particular mediator by the total age- and sex-adjusted black-white disparity without adjustment for that mediator. This is conceptualized as the relative amount of the total age- and sex-adjusted black-white disparity accounted for by the specific variable. This is performed separately for septicemia and other causes of death to calculate cause of death–specific proportional mediation for each variable. Abbreviations: ADL, activity of daily living; ER, emergency room; IADL, instrumental activity of daily living.
