CI, confidence interval.

Dependent variable = perception of safety culture. Standard errors were clustered by primary care practice.

aAll respondent adjusted model and resident physician models were only adjusted for sex, provider type and practice site (community versus hospital based) given that these were the only covariates available for all respondents and resident physicians. The attending clinicians and other patient-facing staff models were adjusted for age, sex, race/ethnicity and practice site.
