Table 2 Analysis Results. For each characteristic (% poverty, % higher education, % Black/AA, % Hispanic/Latino) across 4844 tracts in NYS per the ACS 2014–2018 data, we split tracts by quartile provide the calculated % difference in distance to pharmacy from our generalized linear model results (“Estimate”), the 95% CI for that estimate, and the associated p value
From: Disadvantaged groups have greater spatial access to pharmacies in New York state
