^***p < 0.001, **p < 0. 01, *p < 0.05
Individual characteristics are listed with separate columns reporting the percent who did not access care in each variable category, the crude odds ratio (OR) of not accessing care with respect to the reference category (R), and the standard error (SE) of the odds ratio for each of the four vignettes depicting symptoms of pneumonia, back injury, depression, and PTSD
