^aOverall models were created using a forward selection criterion of P < 0.10. Variables are presented in order of steps at which they entered the model. OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval. OR > 1 indicates that the odds of the outcome (attitude score in top 50%) were greater for the first mentioned category (e.g., 1 to 10) than for the second mentioned category (e.g., 0).
