Unweighted number of respondents who received treatment in the sector. IQR denotes inter-quartile range.
Proportion (standard error) of patients in the sector either dropped out of treatment, completed treatment, or were still in treatment at the time of interview. These three proportions sum to 100% in each row.
The proportion of patients who dropped out of treatment varies significantly across sectors (χ23 = 49.3. p < .001). The proportion of patients who completed treatment, in comparison, does not varies significantly across sectors (χ23 = 5.5. p = .14). The proportion of patients still in treatment varies significantly when we compare across the four sectors (χ23 = 11.5, p = ..009).
Average number of visits in this row represents the median across all sectors, not within any one sector, among patients treated in one or more sectors. The 23% reported in this row to have dropped out of treatment represents those who dropped out in treatment in all sectors. Patient treated in multiple sectors over the 12-month period who were still in treatment in any of those sectors at the time of interview were classified still in treatment, while those no longer in any treatment who reported completing treatment in ay least one sector were classified as having completed treatment.
