  • Results reported in bold are significant at p=0.05. Adjusted ORs are from sample-weighted logistic regression models. Pooled age model controls for age group, sex, health status and household income (not shown). Age-stratified models control for sex, health status and household income.

  • CRNA, cost-related non-adherence, sample-weighted prevalence.
