CI=confidence interval. OR = odds ratio, interpreted as the odds of screening at follow-up relative to the odds of screening at baseline.
↵a P value testing the null hypothesis of no improvement within group.
↵b P value testing whether the odds of improvement are homogeneous across practices within a group.
↵c Calculated as the odds of improvement under the intervention relative to the odds of improvement for the control group.
↵d For each practice, change was measured as the proportion screened at follow-up minus the proportion screened at baseline.
