  1. *The quality improvement registry includes both a) patients enrolled in the randomized evaluation and referred to CCM by researchers and b) naturalistically referred patients. The registry records all visits for patients experiencing CCM. Only patients enrolled in the randomized evaluation who also are listed in the registry (and thus have data on CCM visits) are included in these analyses.
  2. ** p = 0.003 comparing adequate care manager follow-up by type of clinician, with the difference between clinicians with low predilection to adopt CCM and all others showing the greatest difference (Scheffe test)
