  1. This table shows the differences in prescription prevalence (with standard error in parentheses) for White and Black patients in the endometriosis and non-endometriosis cohorts. A positive prevalence difference indicates that White patients were prescribed drugs from that drug class at higher rates. The adjusted p-value associated with the difference in prevalence is also reported. Significant p-values (p < 0.01) are emphasized in bold.
