Japanese Americans Only: Multivariate Models of Trust Including Acculturation and Physician Ethnicity
| Independent Variables* | Demographic and Clinical Variables (95% CI) | Including Demographic and Clinical Variables, Plus Autonomy and Length of MD Relationship (95% CI) |
|---|---|---|
| Note: Coefficients presented from multiple linear regression model that includes demographics and clinical variables has n = 705 and adjusted R2 = 0.08. Model including demographics, clinical variables, autonomy and physician relationship has n = 652 and adjusted R2 = 0.19. | ||
| MD = physician; CI = confidence interval; HRQOL = health-related quality of life. | ||
| * Independent variables have reference groups as follows: Group – Japanese living in Japan; female – male; age – per year; marital status – married; education – per year; religiosity – not religious; physical HRQOL score – per point on 100-point scale; mental HRQOL score – per point on 100-point scale; hospitalization in past 6 months – no hospitalization; ethnicity of regular doctor – Japanese; years with regular doctor – per year; Autonomy Preference Index – per point on 5-point scale; acculturation score – per point on a 100-point scale. | ||
