  • OR = odds ratio; Ref = reference group.

  • Notes: Using multiple imputation for all missing variables except sex and outcome variables. Model 1 covariates: none. Model 2 covariates: age, sex, era training completed, specialty, clinic location, region of country, clinic part of integrated provider network, full-time equivalent clinicians in practice. Model 3 covariates: model 2 covariates plus frequency practice sees patients with social needs.
