  1. Dependent variable for the logit model is a dichotomous indicator of whether a person has had health care utilization during a particular year or not. Dependent variable for the OLS model is frequency of health care use.
  2. Z-score is presented in parentheses ( ) and indicates significance level is presented as followings: ***p ≤ 0.01, **0.01 < p ≤ 0.05, *0.05 < p ≤ 0.10.
