Weight = region-level weight*community-level weight*resident-level weight. Weighted total resident sample size is 152,719 based on 5,777 observed residents in 250 communities.

p value tests difference between residents not prescribed and prescribed PRNs using two-sided Rao-Scott tests (proportions) or Wald tests (means); p<.05 is statistically significant.
