Note: Table presents regression coefficients and (p-values) from ordinary least squares regression analyses that assessed the relationship of the independent variables (EHBM subscales) with dependent variables (convergent measures). For the oral health knowledge score, knowledge was the independent variable and the EHBM subscales were the dependent variables. All analyses controlled for age, gender, education, and income.
