Activities of daily living was the most addressed area; other health facilities (e.g., mental health services, rehabilitation services) were reported as a common setting. People with developmental disabilities, those with chronic illness\/needs, and older adults were most likely to receive occupational therapy primary care services, with a higher likelihood of being financed by government (public) in one-on-one settings. Workforce supply, funding and training were consistently reported as key limiting factors for the profession in primary care.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Implications<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>While recognizing regional histories and needs, it behooves the profession to work collectively to advance its capacity to provide primary care services.
