Item 3: Considers gender perspective of the patient as part of the P4P assessment

 2 = Narrative substantively discusses the influence of P4P in gender-based analysis from an equity perspective (in the results, discussion, and/or conclusion)

 1 = Narrative only describes how sex and other identity factors impacted on patient outcomes in the results (i.e., minimal attention to gender as relevant to P4P)

 0 = No mention of patient sex/gender in the results, discussion, or conclusion

Item 4: Includes disaggregated data by sex of the provider in the results

 2 = Results include sex-disaggregated data for providers in the P4P assessment

 0 = No sex-disaggregated provider data presented in the results

Item 5: Considers gender perspective of the provider as part of the P4P assessment
