↵* We excluded the NH other race group in our analysis to match the US Census race and ethnicity categorization, which we used in our simulation models.
↵† Sample size is the number of men who answered the question whether they had had a PSA test in the past year (Yes/No or never).
↵‡ An unweighted percentage is the percentage of men reporting having had a PSA screening test within 1 year of the interview in a specific age or race and ethnicity group category. Weighted percentage is an estimate of the prevalence of having had a PSA screening test in the past year in a specific age or race and ethnicity group in the study population.
