Odds ratio for FHT, provider, and patient variables associated with receiving advice to quit smoking at the index visit:Advise model: 1 = advice given (n = 1168), 0 = no advice given (n = 1301). Models adjusted for FHT-level and provider-level clustering effects. P values calculated based on Wald tests.
