Figures

FIGURE 1
FIGURE 1
Proportion of refusals to donation according to ethnicity (A) and country of birth (B). The circles represent the mean, the horizontal bars the 95 percent credible intervals. A dotted vertical bar is drawn at the mean of the referent group, namely, EU-Born (A) and Italy (B). A 95% percent credible interval that does not cross the vertical red bars suggests a low probability (i.e., less than 5%) that the refusal propensity of the group is alike the referent group. We included only groups that were represented by at least 30 subjects. The plots results from fitted Bayesian regression models that were adjusted for Italian region of donation.
