*P < 0.10; **P < 0.05; ***P < 0.01. CI, confidence interval; df, degrees of freedom; NP, no participation; TCT, tobacco consumption tax. a The other category collectively includes the promotion of physical activity, good nutrition and moderation in drinking. b Other explanatory variables include population size, public health centre staff size and being a county or not. c A measure of goodness-of-fit for non-linear models, including logistic models. d The null hypothesis is that the other category can be pooled into the NP category. For this test, robust standard errors were not used.
