Logit Model. Pr ( = 1|__, , , ___, ℎ = Λ (β! + β"__ + β# + β$___ + β%ℎ In this study, I am interested in whether the Xxxxx Fall Scale score is reflected in the prescription of benzodiazepines and opioids. Specifically, the dependent variable of interest—the medications being analyzed—is denoted as y being a binary variable that indicates whether the patient received a medication or not. When y=1 that refers to the set of medications that have been selected for that model. This is specified for each model and which medications have been chosen. Thus, y=0 entails that no selected medications have been administered to the patient and y=1 refers to when selected medications are present for a patient. The Xxxxx Fall Scale, which is the main independent variable of interest, score ranges from 0 to 125. To prevent possible confounding effects, the model controls for age, race, and gender. The Gender parameter was set to be a factor with the levels of 0 being Female and 1 being Male. Race is divided into three groups: African American or Black, Caucasian or White, and Others. Caucasian or White race was used as the base when creating the dummy variables for race in which African American or Black and Other was compared to. Other is the group of people that identified as Asian, Multiple, or Unknown, Unavailable, or Unreported. 4.1 All Patients Age, Gender, and Race 4.2 Patients That Fell Age, Gender, and Race 4.3 Patients with Hypertension (Did Not Fall) Age, Gender, and Race
