aPrEP: pre-exposure prophylaxis.
bThis is a 5-level variable.
cNot available.
dDriving time is approximately 1 minute per mile. Therefore, >1-hour drive time is equivalent to 60 miles. This is the reference group.
eCHC: community health center.
fA composite variable created through principal components analysis using density of doctors/outpatient clinics, community health centers, and hospitals; higher scores indicate greater density.
gMean weighted percentage.
