Exact excerpt

We found that ZIP codes in which trials are conducted are skewed away from lower median incomes (p = 4.05e-08, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test). When ZIP codes were partitioned into lower, middle and upper terciles of median income, success rates by ZIP code were significantly lower in the low-income range relative to the middle- and higher-income ranges (lowest vs. highest p < 0.0001, OR 1.13 [1.10–1.16]). Trials conducted in more ZIP codes are significantly more likely to succeed than trials conducted in fewer ZIP codes.
