- *Communication categories: the mean score for each category was calculated from the individual scores (continuous values)
- ** Numbers may not reflect the total n = 397 because of participants' refusals or missing data
- ***This variable is based on the questionnaire item: Where do you usually go when you need health care?
- ****Insurance variables were dichotomized for each category. Totals may exceed 100%, some respondents marked multiple categories (e.g., they had Medicare in addition to self-paid insurance).
