State Scope of Practice, n (%)				<.001
Full	269 (26.7)	103 (17.1)	166 (40.9)
Reduced/Restricted	737 (73.3)	497 (82.8)	240 (59.1)
Overall Work Environment Scale, m (SD)				.023

Notes:

p-values generated from chi-squared tests for categorical and t tests for continuous variables. The minimum number of clinics with information primary care practice characteristics was at least 950 in all cases.
