Note. aOR = adjusted odds ratio; 95% CI = Confidence Interval; + includes individuals with 5 or 6 syndemic psychosocial problems.

a

The first, “bivariate” model only adjusted for randomization arm.

b

The second, “multivariable” model and the test for trend (below) adjusted for randomization arm and all covariates shown.

Test for trend was significant (aOR = 1.27; 95% CI = 1.09–1.48, p=0.002)
