Variable | Regression coefficient (β) | Wald test | Adjusted† odds ratio | 95% CI |
---|---|---|---|---|
†Adjusted for age, nationality, education, occupation, salary, business trips, condom knowledge, having other sex partners, previous STD, condom attitudes, maladaptive behaviours, and all above variables. These variables which were included in the model, but not presented in the table, all had a p value of <0.1 for bivariate analysis and were not statistically significant (ie, p value >0.05) in the regression. | ||||
