  1. All comparisons were made with logistic regressions, adjusting for agency
  2. aAverage rates of MFS use were calculated by dividing number of cases reported by each clinician by their total caseload (e.g., if a clinician reported completing at least one assessment with two cases and they had a caseload of 10 their rate of cases completed at least 1 assessment would be 0.20)
