*Pearson Chi-square tests.

† Adjusted for random effects of physician.

‡ Adjusted for random effects of physician and practice.

§Adjusted for random effects of physician and practice + family history of prostate cancer, history of PSA testing, receipt of physician recommendation for testing, current plans for PSA testing, and patient approach to discussing PSA testing at next visit (as applicable after stepwise regression).

∥Not reported because no baseline variables retained in model during modeling process.
