Constant | 3.63 | 12.33 | 0.000 | 2.96–4.46 |
* Risk Perception was measured in logits or the log-odds transformation of the probability of a response.
** Regression coefficients are presented as exp(logits).
*** Confidence intervals were calculated using heteroscedasticity–correct standard errors.
a Comparison group: < 29 years.
