Comparing single-level and multilevel regression analysis for risk adjustment of treatment outcomes in common mental health disorders

ConclusionsThe findings of risk adjustment of mental health outcomes are quite robust for the use of single-level or multilevel regression analysis in the current study. However, given the small but significant amount of variation in outcomes that is attributable to providers, the multilevel approach is recommended for dealing with outcomes when patients are clustered within providers.
