All estimates represent pooled 2010–2014 rates. The number of health centers and number of patients varies by measure, race/ethnicity, and state. See Supplemental Digital Content (eTable 4, eTable 6, eTable 8) for all sample sizes and for all state estimates. If a state with fewer than 100 patients in the denominator or with a statistically insignificant (p>0.05) point estimate exhibited the highest or lowest quality rate, it was excluded. SE indicates standard error; IQR, interquartile range; CI, confidence interval. Estimates are adjusted for factors that may confound quality: % male, % age65+, % uninsured, % <100% FPL, % homeless, % primary language other than English, number of patients at health center, and urban v rural indicator.

State median represents the median of within-state means
