^aLogistic regression models adjust for clinician age, gender, length of professional employment, remoteness of service, and professional discipline
^bFinal logistic regression models unable to be calculated for fruit and/or vegetable assessment and all behaviours assessment as there were zero observations which provided care to 80-100 % of clients and who responded ‘unsure/disagree/strongly disagree’ to the attitudinal items entered
^cThe following outcomes had no significant associations with attitudinal variables hence are not presented in the table: assessment: smoking, fruit and/or vegetable, alcohol, physical activity, all behaviours; advice: alcohol; referral: smoking, fruit and/or vegetable, physical activity, all behaviours
^dCollinearity diagnostics for smoking advice model and fruit and/or vegetable advice model: Variance of inflation = 1.0 and 1.01 respectively, indicating that collinearity was not present
