Percentages reported as a total of valid responses. Higher AORs across outcomes reflect greater likelihood of medical encounter or injury in the training-as-usual condition.
a
AORs for one or more medical encounters (dichotomized), injury type, and injury region derived from binomial generalized multilevel model predicting dichotomized outcomes with soldiers nested by platoon.
b
AORs for number of injury-related medical encounters and number of injury diagnoses derived from Poisson generalized multilevel models predicting dichotomized outcomes with soldiers nested by platoon.
