Rank-ordered resident preferences for stated barriers for participation in a resident peer support group. (Thinking back to intern year, select the most and least significant factors that affected your participation in the residency-provided peer support group [Intern Forum] that occurred during the day for work-related stress and/or burnout).

aMNL: multinomial logit.
bFive statistically significant groupings (A-E) were found for the 7 surveyed factors when comparing multinomial logit utility scores with Tukey honest significant difference posthoc testing. Mean utility scores followed by the same letter did not differ significantly (Tukey honest significant difference test, P>.05); exact P values for multiple comparisons are shown in Table S1 in Multimedia Appendix 1.
cN/A: not applicable.
