Partial SH was obtained in 33.92% of visits. No SH was taken in the majority of visits (65%). SH was more likely to be taken from female patients than from male patients (P\u00a0&amp;lt;\u00a0.001), and was less likely to be obtained from older patients as compared to younger individuals (P\u00a0&amp;lt;\u00a0.001). There was no significant difference in SH taking between male and female providers (P\u00a0=\u00a0.753).
