In unadjusted and adjusted linear regression models, Black race and environmental barriers (Craig Hospital Inventory of Environmental Factors total score) were predictive of unmet needs (P < .001). Those with greater unmet needs reported the physical environment (54%-63%), informational sources (54%), social attitudes (55%), healthcare access (40%), public policy (32%-37%), transportation availability (33%), and in-home assistance (32%) as the most frequ...Continue Reading
