Regression models adjusted for age, sex, race/ethnicity, family income as a % of federal poverty level, education level, insurance, geographic region, self-reported health status in round 3/1, number of comorbid conditions, cancer site, calendar year, and being in remission

Note: Sample size and regression model estimates are for the US civilian non-institutionalized population of adult cancer survivors currently experiencing cancer and having a usual source of care during 2013–2018
