  1. *P < 0.05. The social capital index was dichotomized into communities with an index above the median (1 = yes) and below the median in our sample (0 = no). Individual-level covariates included being male, being married, graduating college, being Black, Asian, Hispanic, or Other race, having income in the specified range (<$15,000/year, 15,000 to 75,000/year), and having health insurance. The reference category for education was having less than a college degree and the reference for income was greater than $75,000 per year. The remaining dichotomous predictors were coded as 1 = yes; 0 = no. The number of FTEs at the LHD was =1 if the LHD had more than the average FTEs in the Profile 2013 survey (mean = 65). Community-level covariates included continuous measures of the population: percent black (Area Resource File, 2016; rescaled to a one-standard deviation change) and median household income (2014; rescaled to a $10,000 unit change). A second model with an interaction term between collaborative action and social capital was also analyzed. The p-value for interaction is provided.
