*High engagement, if total number of visits≥2; low engagement, if total number of visits<2

†Multivariable longitudinal linear regression model after adjusting for age, sex, preferred language, race, employment status, marital status, type of insurance, and years in school.

‡Based on interactive models where interactions between study group and follow-up visit (month) were included and tested.
