^a “Other/Unknown” includes: “American Indian or Alaska Native”, “Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander”, “Other”, “Unknown”
^b “Other” includes: Life Partner, Significant Other, Unknown, Other, Missing
^c Includes any endorsement on PHQ-9 item 9 except “Not at all”
^d Percentage is out of the total N = 615, though some patients had a missing value on the AUDIT-C, DAST-10, and/or PCL
^e For the purposes of the analyses, patients who did not meet screening criteria for a given measure were given a “No” on meeting a clinical threshold (rather than given a missing status)
^f Clinical cutoff is ≥3 for females, ≥ 4 for males
^g Cutoff ≥3 indicates at least “moderate” symptoms; patients were only administered the DAST-10 if they screened positive on the 1-item screener
^h Includes visits that did not indicate a provider type
