Out-of-jurisdiction controls were not available due to no control jurisdiction having sufficient sample size for race or ethnicity-specific comparison groups.
The HEP sample deliberately selected specified race or ethnic groups at higher rates in two of the three neighborhoods in order to obtain large enough sample sizes for race by class comparisons across areas of the city.
Although the model allows the estimation of any covariate effect, we will remove the effect on the pain traits due to different races because of too few samples for some races.
Secondly, our rate of ineligibility was higher than anticipated, resulting in a sample size inadequate to test for race- or ethnicity-based or other subgroup differences in acceptability and outcomes, although these were not primary goals of this research.
It may have been possible to obtain a more representative sample if a larger number of patients had been recruited instead of purposely selecting patients to generate a diverse sample for characteristics including age, race, disease severity and time since diagnosis.
Specifically, we discovered that black physicians in our sample viewed race as important for treatment decision-making, while only four white physicians considered race medically relevant.
Study design The sample included 477 exposed and 554 comparison infants matched for race, sex, and gestational age.
E) Bar graph depicting the number of samples by race, for H, DFS, and MBC.
ORs were not adjusted for race as Caucasians represented over 90% of the sample.
They first sample all adults in each state, weighting the demographics of the full adult sample (for characteristics such as gender, age, race and education) to match Census estimates for the full population.
