This is the survey that was used to collect data in this study.
What is the National Health Interview Survey?
100
These two analytical tests were used to determine significant differences between ethnic groups.
What are the Chi-square test and t-test?
100
There is no interaction race/ethnicity and this variable.
What is education?
100
Due to the cross-sectional nature of the study data, we are unable to conclude these.
What are inferences about cause and effect?
100
Hispanic people can be of any race, and do not identify well with US Census categories because of this factor.
What is mixed ancestry?
200
In the interviews, this question was asked before the question for race, to establish ethnicity.
What is "Do you consider yourself Hispanic/Latino"?
200
This software was used for the statistical analysis of this study.
What is SUDAAN?
200
This group of respondents (ethnicity) were more likely to be younger, be less educated, have lower income, be uninsured, and smoke, when compared with their counterparts.
Who are Hispanic respondents?
200
This limitation could cause an underestimation of diabetes prevalence.
What is self-reporting?
200
...7.2%...
What is the overall prevalence of diabetes?
300
This is the outcome (dependent variable) for this study.
What is self-reported diabetes?
300
This race was used as a reference group for odds ratio (OR) measurements of diabetes and race/ethnicity for all models.
What is non-Hispanic white?
300
This one group of respondents (ethnicity, race, country of birth) were 3.54 (95% CI 1.27, 9.82) times more likely to report having diabetes when compared to their same-ethnicity counterparts.
Who are Hispanic black respondents born in the U.S?
300
This is how the authors account for the weight inflation of the small sample size of Hispanic black people (n=356).
What is repeated analyses without the weights?
300
The difference in the prevalence of diabetes between non-Hispanic black and white respondents has been attributed these risk factors (name at least three).
What are obesity, physical activity, socioeconomic position, access to care, and environmental conditions?
400
42.2% of the Hispanic population identified with this category
in the 2000 Census.
What is "some other race"?
400
This particular model used logistic regression to estimate the strength of the association between race/ethnicity and diabetes, and was additionally adjusted for health insurance, BMI, physical activity, and smoking.
What is Model 2?
400
The prevalence estimate of diabetes was unreliable and thus not presented for this combination of race/ethnicity and characteristic. (Hint: Look in a table.)
Who are Hispanic black respondents with income between $20,000 - $44,999?
400
The inclusion of the 17% of Hispanics who self-identified as "some other race" did not affect the results of the study, due to this reason.
What is no significant difference between odds ratio?
400
Non-Hispanic black and Hispanic white people were more likely to report diabetes when compared to non-Hispanic white respondents, in the presence of this confounder.
What is low-income?
What does this mean? The authors found an association between race/ethnicity and the prevalence of diabetes when income was evaluated in the model.
500
These are the three factors that were considered as potential confounders or risk factors in diabetes studies.
What are demographic characteristics, access to care and socioeconomic position, and healthrelated risk factors?
500
This procedure was used to control for variables, such as age, gender, marital status, etc.
What is adjusted odds ratio?
Fun fact: The adjusted odds ratio is used to see if and how a variable interferes with the crude odds ratio.
500
For crude odds ratio, this ethnicity group showed no statistical significance between race/ethnicity and self-reported diabetes.
What is the (white and black) Hispanic groups?
500
This is one bias associated with a limitation of this study.
What is sampling bias?
500
FINAL JEOPARDY: Specifically, these are the two purposes of this study.
What are (1) to investigate the independent
effect of race on diabetes among Hispanic and nonHispanic people and (2) to compare the strength of the
associations between race and diabetes among Hispanic
and non-Hispanic respondents?
