Patient–physician communication Measures of Physician with Standardized Patient and Change^a with Actual Patient by Physician Intervention Group

Characteristic	Physician Intervention Group		P Value
	Intensive	Minimal
Verbal dominance ratiob:
With standardized patient, geometric mean (SD)	3.20 (1.31)	3.45 (1.36)	0.40
Change with actual patients	−1.67 (−2.06, −1.28)	−1.94 (−2.36, −1.53)	0.35
Patient centeredness ratio:
With standardized patient, mean (SD)	1.10 (0.43)	1.46 (0.52)	0.02
Change with actual patients	−0.52 (−0.71, −0.32)	−0.82 (−1.02, −0.61)	0.04

Abbreviation: SD, standard deviation;

^a Change is reported as the coefficient and 95% confidence interval from mixed effects regression controlling for nesting within physician

^b Verbal dominance minus back channeling ratio
