CI = Confidence Interval; p‐value for overall significance indicates if the variable was a significant predictor of the number of days of treatment. Receptivity is a self‐reported qualitative measure of the subjects’ self‐reported willingness or openness to receive the recommendation (rated as “receptive,” “neutral” or “unreceptive”); the frequency of following the recommendation was a qualitative measure based on the self‐report of how often they were complaint with the recommendation (rated as “most of the time,” “sometimes” or “rarely”)
