Table 2 -. Associated patient characteristics with Practice Readiness to Evaluate and address Perinatal Depression (PREPD) scores.
The Practice Readiness Index is the summative score of the entire PREPD assessment, with a maximum possible score of 16. Practices were divided into tertiles (n = 4 in each), based on their total PREPD scores (Practice Readiness Index, PRI), categorizing them into 3 groups of readiness: tier 1 (average PRI = 5.5), tier 2 (PRI = 7.4), and tier 3 (PRI =9.0). Patient characteristics were then associated, and percentages are reported by tier.
| Patient characteristics | Patients in each tier of PREPD assessment score that the characteristic applies (%) | P-Value | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 (PRI = 5.5) |
Tier 2 (PRI = 7.4) |
Tier 3 (PRI = 9.0) |
