Note.
*
aOR=adjusted odds ratio from multivariate logistic regression, adjusted for gender, years since completion of training, percent minority and uninsured patients in practice, estimated community HIV prevalence, and practice setting.
†
β coef = beta coefficient from multivariate linear regression models, adjusted for gender, years since completion of training, percent minority and uninsured patients in practice, estimated community HIV prevalence, and practice setting.

Differing “n” at top of column for dependent variables is due to missing data.
