Note: Data from 3 sites. Unadjusted and adjusted logistic regression models account for clustering of patients within clinicians using generalized estimating equations and adjust for study site; adjusted model also includes patient age, sex, race/ethnicity, and current drug use, and clinician age, sex, and race/ethnicity. Referent group for odds ratios is the low clinician mindfulness tertile.
