Analyses included all covariates jointly, and were weighted to generate estimates representative of the HCHS/SOL target population. N aware in stratum further provide the raw number of individuals aware of at least one type of test, and their proportion in the strata, weighted to represent the HCHS/SOL target population, is provide in the column weighted proportion.
