Model Adjustments:

Model 1 = G-statistic + G-statistic*Gender + Gender + Age + Age² + foreign born (Hispanic only)+ Years in neighborhood + Site

Model 2 = Model 1 + neighborhood poverty

Model 3 = Model 2 + Education + Household income per capita + Wealth index + Working status + Marital status + Cancer + smoking status + language (Hispanic only) + foreign born (Hispanic only)

Notes: Estimates for the G_i* statistic reflect at 1.96 unit change. Estimates for neighborhood poverty reflect a 1 standard deviation change. P-values reflect two-sided tests.
