a

Adjusted for study site and patient characteristics: age, time since previous mammogram, and BI-RADS breast density

b

Rural/urban residence and income are generated from area-level data

c

‘No ultrasound services’ is the referent group

d

‘No biopsy services’ is the referent group

e

‘No academic affiliation’ is the referent group

f

‘Not for profit’ is the referent group

g

N = 127, as one site (N = 12) did not report profit status
