A negative coefficient indicated a positive association with CRS, and a positive coefficient meant a negative association with CRS. SE, standard error. Non-Saudi, percent of non-Saudi; Female, the proportion of female; Infectious disease, percentage of infectious diseases, Anti-microbial pres., amount of antimicrobial dispensed medications; Chronic dis. Pres., chronic prescriptions dispensed; Financial hardship, a number of the population faced financial hardship; Social support, number received benefits of social-economic support. * Significant at the 0.10 level, two-tailed test. **Significant at the 0.05 level, two-tailed test. ***Significant at the 0.01 level, two-tailed test
