The reference group (i.e., RR = 1.0) for each RR reported by race/ethnicity within each age group is Whites of the same age

*A significant interaction between race/ethnicity and neighborhood poverty level existed. The effect reported corresponds to the effect of race/ethnicity at low-poverty level neighborhood
