Regression analysis of 4 d of physicians' beliefs and practices regarding religion and spirituality in the clinical encounter on physician identification with Judaism

	Model 1^a Coefficient (95% CI)	Model 2^b Coefficient (95% CI)	Model 3^c Coefficient (95% CI)
Scale 1: god actively intervenes in patient's health	−0.92 (−1.07, −0.77) R² = 0.14	−0.79 (−0.95, −0.63) R² = 0.14	−0.29 (−0.44, −0.14) R² = 0.49
Scale 2: R/S is beneficial for a patient's mental health	−0.40 (−0.51, −0.30) R² = 0.07	−0.32 (−0.42, −0.22) R² = 0.12	−0.14 (−0.26, −0.03) R² = 0.23
Scale 3: physician inquires about R/S in the clinical encounter	−0.58 (−0.72, −0.44) R² = 0.06	−0.57 (−0.70, −0.43) R² = 0.19	−0.30 (−0.45, −0.16) R² = 0.31
Scale 4: physician discusses R/S in the clinical encounter	−0.54 (−0.66, −0.43) R² = 0.10	−0.52 (−0.64, −0.4) R² = 0.15	−0.31 (−0.45, −0.18) R² = 0.30

Table 3 presents unstandardized partial regression coefficients and 95% confidence intervals (with R2 for each model) for identification with Judaism on each of 4-D of physician's beliefs and practices regarding religion/spirituality in the clinical encounter

All values presented are statistically significant at P < 0.05

Model 1 includes identification with Judaism as the predictor variable

Model 2 includes identification with Judaism plus demographics (age, gender, geographic region) and practice characteristics (non-US medical school graduation, board certification, primary specialty) as the predictor variables

Model 3 includes identification with Judaism plus demographics, practice characteristics, and religious characteristics (intrinsic religiosity, religious service attendance, belief in God) as the predictor variables
