OR_adj is the adjusted odds ratio (for all variables presented in the final model) of being within risk-appropriate cervical cancer screening guidelines versus not including clinic location as a random effect. All other variables were considered in the modeling process but did not exert independent, confounding, or modifying effects.

95% CI is the corresponding 95% confidence interval for the adjusted odds ratio.

^ap-value is from a likelihood ratio Chi-square test for the interaction effect
