For the bivariable analysis, only significant results are shown. The level of significance was set at p < 0.05. Seven demographic variables (age, city of residence, education level, employment status, monthly income, sexual orientation, and living status) were controlled for in the final multivariable regression model.
a
Fisher's exact test was used for these calculations due to small expected values.
