Table 2. Multiple Logistic Regression Analysis of Hepatitis B Screening Behavior at 6-Month Follow-up Among Previously Unscreened Participants (n = 446), Study of the Effect of a Liver Cancer Education Program on Hepatitis B Screening Among Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese Americans in the Baltimore–Washington Metropolitan Area, 2009–2010.

a

Odds ratios, 95% confidence intervals, and P values were obtained from multiple logistic regression models comparing intervention and control groups adjusted for age and clustering within randomized groups for both models.

b

Calculated by using generalized estimating equation. Model 1 used generalized estimating equation to adjust for the cluster effect and age, and Model 2 further adjusted for ethnicity.
