The dependent variable is compliance rating (0 or 1). Linear probability models are used. P values are based on robust standard errors and are in parentheses. Coefficients are reported, except for constants. The results remained qualitatively unchanged if the 891 hospitals excluded from the sample (because their machine-readable files cannot be automatically processed) were reclassified as noncompliant and included in the sample

^†One observation was lost in model (4) because one HRR (St. Joseph, MI) has only one hospital in the sample, and thus, no peer compliance was available

***P < 0.001; **P < 0.05; *P < 0.1
