a
MOR is the multinomial odds ratio provided in the multinomial logistic regression which compares the odds ratios between this category and the Low Threat/Low Efficacy category as the Reference with respect to a particular characteristic category against its reference category, adjusting for all other characteristics.
b
Analysis was based on 1605 participants with available information across all characteristics and questions pertaining to the EPPM categories.
