However, individual election results showed changes in this trend, especially in recent elections ( Figure). Physicians and nonphysicians differed in most demographic characteristics.Īdjusted for demographic differences, pooled physician voter turnout was lower than the general population (57.4% vs 63.4% RR, 0.91 P < .001). Among physicians, 1449 (33.5%) were female, 211 (4.9%) were Black physicians, 223 (5.2%) were Hispanic physicians, 3354 (77.5%) were White physicians, and 3598 (83.1%) were aged between 30 to 64 years. Survey respondents from 2000 to 2020 included 4330 physicians and 1 438 809 nonphysicians.
The study period was November 2000 to November 2020. 05 was determined to be statistically significant. Tests were 2-sided, and a P value less than.
All estimates were weighted to be nationally representative.Īll analyses were conducted in R version 3.6.3 (R Foundation). To examine barriers to voting among physicians, we calculated the proportions of eligible physicians who cited each reason for not voting and not registering to vote, respectively. We examined the impact of sex, age, and availability of no-excuse mail-in voting on physician voter turnout. 4 We evaluated differences in voter turnout between physicians and the general population using risk ratios (RRs) and χ 2 tests, both pooled and individually in each election. We estimated marginal probabilities of voter turnout (ie, the proportion of eligible individuals who voted) in physicians and the general population in each election, respectively, using multivariable logistic regression and adjusting for demographic characteristics strongly associated with voting. The response rates ranged from 79% to 92% in 2000 to 2020. 3 This survey is administered biennially to 60 000 households and collects information on voter participation and registration in the weeks following an election day. We used the US Census Bureau Current Population Survey Voting and Registration Supplement data. This study followed the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology ( STROBE) reporting guideline. This cross-sectional study was exempted from review and informed consent by the institutional review board at Harvard Pilgrim Health Care because of the use of publicly available, deidentified data.
