* P < .5;
** P < .01;
*** P < .001.
† Covariates include sex, education, insurance coverage, smoke or not, employment status, and usual source of care type of place (age and employer type not included).
Note: Analysis for all models excluded the observations that have missing values in mental health status. Models II and III also excluded those who did not answer all 7 questions in regard to accessibility and interpersonal relationship of primary care.
