Note: Enrollment rates ranged from approximately 2% to 6% across the 4 projects. Precise rates are unknown because some recruiters used listservs (eg, local medical societies) and the number of practices reached through those channels was estimated. Further, the number of ineligible practices among nonrespondents was unknown.
