Values in the table represent the weighted prevalence ratio (PR) and the associated 95% confidence intervals (CIs) comparing prevalence of discrimination/mistreatment between race-sex subgroups, race, or sex. The PR estimates were obtained by using the RLOGIST procedure in SUDAAN, where each outcome was modeled as a function of the following variables: race, sex, interaction between race and sex, age at time of enrollment, and region of residence at time of enrollment. Therefore, all estimates are adjusted for stratification variables.

Experiencing at least one of the four discrimination types (age, racial, sex, or other).
