^a Estimates derived from student dropout rates as dependent variable, giving the percentage change in student dropout rate per one increase in health promotion capacity on a 5-point Likert scale (from “very low degree” to “very high degree”)

^b Adjusted for geographical location, school size, school type, VET-level, students’ age and students’ ethnicity
