Response 2: Program is somewhat or very effective with regard to provision of support for healthcare workers in emotional distress
Variable	Odds Ratio (95% CI)	P Value
HCW support program location within the organizational structure: “QI/Patient Safety”	5.64 (1.27 – 25.06)	0.023
Mechanisms to access support include: “Department leader or unit manager referral”	4.28 (2.17 – 8.42)	<0.001
