Table 3.

Multivariate linear regression—intention-to-treat analysis. Each line starting with a dependent variable contains information from one regression analysis (N=571) and provides model fit (R 2), results for the variable group (regardless of significance), and those variables which were demonstrated to be significant independent predictors in the model.
