Abbreviations: NH-white = Non-Hispanic white; NH-black = Non-Hispanic black. PIR = Poverty Income Ratio. a Hispanic includes Mexican American and other Hispanic. b p-value from chi-square test comparing the different characteristics between groups. c p < 0.01 for pair-wise comparison between NH-black and NH-white. d p < 0.01 for pair-wise comparison between NH-black and Hispanic. e p < 0.01 for pair-wise comparison between medium family income (1.3 ≤ PIR < 3.49) and low income (PIR < 1.3). f p < 0.01 for pair-wise comparison between high family income (PIR > 3.5) and low family income (PIR < 1.3).
