Association between a priori identified covariates and VUMC ED visits in study period stratified by mental health diagnosis. This forest plot shows the adjusted odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals from a logistic regression model for a VUMC (Vanderbilt University Medical Center) ED (Emergency Department) visit during the study year, stratified by the presence or absence of a mental health disorder—including mood, anxiety, psychotic, and substance use disorders. “Charlson Comorbidity Index” refers to a score that quantifies medical comorbidities, “History of VUMC ED Visits” refers to the number of VUMC ED visits in the 12 months before the study year, and “Missed Primary Care Visits” refers to percent of missed Shade Tree Clinic primary care visits (for each 10%) during the study year.
