*For participants’ responses regarding number of years working at the health center, some participants only provided their minimum number of years (e.g., “5+”). For those participants, we assigned them to the lowest value indicated (e.g., “5+” was included in the 5–9 year group). We decided to include this data in recognition that those who have worked at the health center for a greater number of years were less likely to report the exact number, and we wanted to minimize the likelihood of skewing the data toward those who had worked at the health center for less time
