b
Recent substance use prior to a given visit, collected by data abstractors at 6-month intervals.
c
Viral suppression in 2020, the year prior to the study period. Binary variable; suppressed defined as most recent viral load in 2020 <200 copies/ml. Patients with no viral loads in 2020 were labeled non-suppressed.
d
Area Deprivation Index (ADI) for each ZIP code is the median of ADIs of neighborhoods in the ZIP code. Quartiles were: 1st ADI 1–24; 2nd ADI 25–49; 3rd ADI 50–74; 4th ADI 75–100. Higher quartile α more deprivation.27,28
e
Distance from clinic was calculated from the centroid of the ZIP code to the John G. Bartlett Specialty Practice, using driving distance as provided by CDX Technologies ZIP Code Distance Batch Report.26
