Note: Odds ratios greater than one indicate a positive relationship between a one unit increase in the predictor and a corresponding increase in the conditional odds of having a zero response. Odds ratios less than one indicate a negative relationship between a one unit increase in the predictor and a corresponding decrease in the conditional odds of having a zero response. All Odds ratios are adjusted for the other predictors in the model.
