*** p < 0.001. Covariates included in the screening model (number of observations = 100) were clinician sex; level of mental health training; age of patient population treated; practice type, region, and location; number of patients with SLE; and accessibility of mental health staff. Covariates included in the treatment model (number of observations = 98) were clinician sex, level of mental health training, age of patient population treated, practice type and region, number of patients with SLE, accessibility of mental health staff, and number of providers. Missing observations were dropped from the analysis. SLE: systemic lupus erythematosus.
