There was no statistical difference in the average number of PC visits, PC patients, and PC providers between IF and non-IF sites. ** 1,863 PC-MHI encounters were dropped because the sites did not have PC-MHI programs. Thus, no encounters were recorded during the preparation phase at any IF site
++Two non-IF sites recorded 76 PC-MHI encounters and had partial PC-MHI programs during this phase
