Jonckheere-Terpstra test of ordered (mean response) differences between the four strata (two-sided test).

Significant main effects (Reference group):

a

Pregnancy status (non-pregnant),

b

City (NNR),

c1

TWEAK risk (no risk),

c2

T-ACE (no risk),

c3

Binge drinking when non-pregnant (non-binge drinker),

d

Marital Status (single/divorced/never married/widowed),

e

Age (< 30 years),

f

Education (< middle level college) and

g

Income (> 3,000 rubles).

The significant main effects are obtained after controlling for confounding variables indicated as superscripts on each question domain. For example, for the model examining differences in research data believability (Research data a,b,c3), the main effects reported for pregnancy status are adjusted for differences in city of residence and binge-drinking behavior.

Reference category for the multinomial equations was the response category Not at all or Not very much or Not sure.
