This table presents the estimated average marginal change in the probability of high job satisfaction and good work–life balance from using digital health technology. Each estimate is from a separate probit regression model that includes a full set of covariates from table 1. All the adjusted estimates include the state the practice is located and the physicians’ personality traits. The estimates for the specialists are adjusted for their specialties. The study sample includes 7043 physicians who answered questions on the use of digital health technology, and all the variables used in the analysis. All the estimates are also adjusted for the cross-sectional survey weights. The 95% CIs presented in parentheses are based on SEs clustered at the postcode level. Detailed estimates are shown in online supplemental tables 2 and 3.

P value of Wald test of exogeneity <0.001.
