Notes: Sites I1, I2, and I3 = independent community pharmacies; sites C1 and C2 = community health center pharmacies. Percentages may not equal 100% due to rounding.

aC1 had a higher proportion of drug-drug interactions identified than C2 (P = 0.016).

bC1 had a higher number of dose-related concerns than C2 (P = 0.011).
