A common practice would consist to fuse the reference category with the other levels of the variable that are not significantly different from the reference category. We proceed to these supplemental analyses but this process did not give conclusive results. For the “Information channel” variable, the new reference category resulted from the regrouping provided p-values of 0.868 and 0.771 for the odds ratios.

Reference category.

**

Abnormally wide confidence interval can raise with small sample size or when some variables have several categories with small frequencies.
