Odd ratios of suspecting LD before receiving medical help (1 = suspecter, 0 = non-suspecter)

	B (SE)	Odds ratio (or Exp b) [95% CI]
Constant	−3.52* (1.61)	-
Knowledge of ticks and LD	0.21*(0.09)	1.24 [1.02; 1.50]
Direct event leading to the realization of tick bite	1.38**(0.42)	3.98 [1.74; 9.12]
Age when leaving full-time education	0.12 (0.06)	1.13 [0.99; 1.30]
Frequency of countryside use	−0.50(0.59)	0.60 [0.18; 1.93]

Note: R_L² = .21(Hosmer & Lemeshow), .25 (Cox & Snell), Model χ²(4) = 36.51, p < .001.

B: regression coefficients; SE: standard errors of regression coefficients; CI: confidence interval of odds ratio.
