aThis model also controlled for primary care practice—odds ratios are not displayed. Practice setting and region were entered into models but dropped due to collinearity.

bData on insurance type and asthma severity were only available for PeRC patients (7120/9133 or 77.96% of the total)—the results presented for these variables are from models including only PeRC participants, whereas the results for all other variables are from models including all participants.
