OBJECTIVE: We examined whether travel time influences attrition: (a) among women veterans overall, (b) among new versus established patients, and (c) among rural versus urban patients. RESEARCH DESIGN: This retrospective cohort study used logistic regression to estimate the association between drive time and at…
