Note: T-tests used to assess statistical difference between treatment groups for the continuous PDC outcome. Chi-square tests used to assess statistical associations for the categorical PDC ≥ 80 outcome.
a Preperiod = April 2012 to March 2013.
b Postperiod = April 2013 to March 2014.
c Difference = preperiod to postperiod.
d Difference-in-difference = difference (intervention)–difference (control).
PDC = proportion of days covered.
