The tabulated numbers are odds ratios with their 95 % confidence intervals (in parentheses).

a See Appendix 1 for details of the questionnaire statements.

b Logistic regression estimation based on Firth’s penalised likelihood.

c Significant odds ratio at p = 0.05.

d Though the effect is huge because 100 % of the residents agreed to this statement, the ‘position’ perfectly predicts agreement to statement 2.
