  • Notes: All values adjusted for age, sex, practice location, and survey response, except abdominal aortic aneurysm screening, Chlamydia screening, and aspirin chemoprophylaxis use, for which sample sizes were too small for adjusting (ie, these values are unadjusted). P values compare the 4-month or the 16-month up-to-date value with the baseline up-to-date value.

  • a P <.02.

  • b Statistically significant increase in service delivery.
