Table 3: Factors associated with patient and provider delay: Patient and provider delay was dichotomized at 30 and 14 days respectively, with an interval greater than 30 and 14 resulting in delay. Risk ratios were then created to assess for associations between race, insurance status, and the presence of navigation and patient or provider delay. Those without insurance and the lack of patient navigation was associated with a higher risk of patient delay. African American race, the lack of insurance, and lack of patient navigation were associated with an increased risk of experiencing provider delay. Finally, an adjusted risk ratio was created to control for the effects of insurance and race, which demonstrated a statistically significant increased risk of provider delay in the absence of patient navigation.

^a = Adjusted risk ratio for controlling for insurance and race effect on navigation, calculated using Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel method.
