Table 3.

Model fit indicated with deviance information criterion (DIC) comparing traditional hierarchical 2-level and novel cross-classified empty and adjusted models in FOBT and colonoscopy test use among usual care patients (n=3,195).

	Cross-classified Model	Hierarchical 2-Level Models
		Physician Model	2 Clinic Model	Neighborhood Model

FOBT Models
Empty	1186.43^*	1187.52^*	1239.77	1262.70
Adjusted	1195.38^*	1196.87^*	1250.64	1274.06
Colonoscopy Models
Empty	1953.42^*	1946.88^*	1947.37^*	1961.79
Adjusted	1944.90^*	1938.27^*	1939.24^*	1948.81

Note:

Indicates best fitting model(s) of all models in row. Lower values indicate better fit; a difference of 3 to 7 in DIC indicates material difference between models.(27)
