  1. Negative values indicate that NHBs have a lower estimated risk of receiving a diabetic care visit. Unadjusted: observed sample risk difference. Patient I: covariate-adjusted propensity model, unadjusted outcome model. Patient II: covariate-adjusted propensity score and outcome models. Spatial I: spatial propensity score model, unadjusted outcome model. Spatial II: spatial propensity score and outcome models
