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

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