  • *Models were adjusted for the following demographic and clinical characteristics: years in practice, provider type, gender, number of cancer patients seen per week, work setting, and financial status of patients. The smoking cessation model excluded work setting as a covariate.

  • The treating depression, treating fatigue, and diet/physical activity models excluded work setting and financial status of patients as covariates.

  • The surveillance for recurrence model excluded gender as a covariate.

  • §Both the screening for new cancer and assessing genetic risk models excluded financial status of patients as a covariate.

  • ||Both the late/long term treatment effects and pain models excluded gender, work setting, and financial status of patients as covariates.

  • The treating sexual side effects model excluded gender and financial status of patients as covariates.
