Hi, Aksharananda!

Your project sounds very interesting, and important for health disparities and even health policy work! I am curious what other variables you are adding to the model? For example, I'm wondering about variables such as health insurance (Y/N) which may impact access to services that may be needed at discharge (rehab, home health, PT, etc), type of health insurance, whether they live alone (wondering if help at home would lessen readmission compared to those living alone), what comorbidities you are considering looking at, whether someone as a primary care doctor, etc. These are just some thoughts I had; you may be controlling for all of these, but if not, they may be interesting to assess if feasible! Thank you for sharing!
