  1. HRQoL = health-related quality of life; 95% CI = 95% confidence interval; * Denotes P-value < 0.05 and therefore, the mean HRQoL score and 95% CI among black women is statistically significantly different from the mean score among white women. P-values are based on a comparison of means using the t-test.
  2. 1Based on the Medical Outcomes Study (SF-36) Survey.
