Odds ratio is for the intervention group relative to the control group. 100 observations were used in the multivariable models.
*
The propensity score (PS) of being in the intervention group was estimated using a multivariable logistic regression model including Q1 through Q11, Q13, and Q28-Q29. Then, the multivariable model was adjusted for the PS.
**
Models were fitted with a response ‘No’ vs. ‘Yes’ as ‘No’ is the correct answer.
