Note. uOR = unadjusted odds ratio; SE = linearized standard error; CI = confidence interval. For the partial proportional odds models

a odds ratio for very interested vs. less than very interested

b odds ratio for somewhat or more interested vs not very much or less interested

c odds ratio for not very much or more interested vs. not at all interested.
