Table shows two models. Model 1 shows the logistic regression including all predictor variables that had p < 0.10 bivariate relationship with each adherence measure. Model 2 shows the results from multivariable stepwise logistic regression for each of the adherence measures with predictor variables stepped into the model in two stages: (1) demographic and background variables (e.g., age, education, racial/ethnic, household income, gender, gay) and (2) psychosocial and health behaviors (e.g., smoking, drug use, alcohol use, number of stresses, depression). Variables with p ≤ 0.10 at the step that they were entered, were included in the final model 2.
