  1. Variances estimated in logits.
  2. Abbreviations: GP general practitioner, PCV proportional change in variance, PHC team Primary health care team, SE standard error.
  3. Dash indicates covariate not considered in that analysis.
  4. The models included the variance of the random intercepts and slopes that significantly varied between GP and PHC team results.
  5. aAs the variance is a function of individual characteristics that vary randomly, the values in the table are for the intercepts (for individuals with characteristics at their reference values).
  6. bEmpty model: model with no covariates at either level, i.e. only the intercepts and the random parameters.
  7. cPCV: The proportional change in variance expresses the change in the PHC team or GP level variance between the empty model and the final model.
