^aFactors included are only those that were statistically significantly related to any of the seven disposition options. Items with * had a p-value < or = 0.01.

^bORs reported here compare 0 children to 1 or more children (people who are childless v. people with child/ren)

^cORs reported here compare those with embryos stored >5 years vs. those with embryos stored 5 years or less.
