^a Odds Ratios reflect the odds associated with being in the low eclectic, family preferred, or super user profiles relative to the moderate eclectics, controlling for client characteristics (client age and primary diagnosis)
^b Profile does not have sufficient cases on specified variable
^c We also examined initiative as a dichotomous yes/no variable and results were similarly non-significant
