Recruited offices had at least 1 physician provide an email address for subsequent contact.

Eligible offices had at least 1 eligible physician with at least 20 female patients who were candidates for Chlamydia screening according to HEDIS Technical Specifications, 2000. The number is reduced due to missing data.

* Dichotomous variable indicating whether number of eligible patients in office was ≥ 90th percentile for number of eligible patients in all offices.

** Chlamydia screening rates were determined from HEDIS Technical Specifications, 2000.

Dichotomous variable indicating whether number of eligible physicians in office was ≥ 90th percentile for number of eligible physicians in all offices.

Physician characteristics were summarized at office level as unweighted averages across all offices. Odds represent one-unit increase.
