^aNegative binomial regression with random effect for agency; includes one episode per client (first episode selected). N = 4200. Excludes 662 clients (12.8% of 5162) whose first episode consisted of only 1 visit, and excludes 300 clients (5.8% of 5162) with > 1 visit but missing values on predictor variables. AIC = 29,021.6, BIC = 29,040.8
^bCoefficients were not statistically significant for: education, employment status, marital status, cannabis problem, stimulant problem, legal system involvement, pregnant at admission
