Results of univariate and multivariate analyses on the association of variables with Low Health Literacy
| Independent variables | Univariate OR (95% CI) | p‐value | Multivariate AOR (95% CI) | p‐value | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gender | Male | Ref | .054 | ||
| Female | 0.64 (0.40–1.00) | ||||
| Ethnicity | Papuan | Ref | .192 | ||
| Non‐Papuan | 0.72 (0.45–1.17) | ||||
| Type of ART | Fixed‐dose Combination (FDC) | Ref | .009 | Ref | .010 |
| Multi‐dose regimen | 0.55 (0.98–2.55) | 0.51 (0.32–0.82) | |||
| Medicine‐taking support | No | Ref | .056 | Ref | .026 |
| Yes | 1.58 (0.35–0.86) | 1.78 (1.07–2.97) | |||
| HIV‐Stigma | Distancing | 0.95 (0.89–1.01) | .079 | ||
| BMQ | Concern | 1.11 (1.04–1.20) | .003 | ||
| Overuse | 1.21 (1.11–1.32) | .000 | 1.17 (1.06–1.29) | .001 | |
| Harm | 1.16 (1.08–1.26) | .000 | 1.10 (1.01–1.20) | .044 | |
Abbreviations: AOR, adjusted odds ratio; BMQ, beliefs about medicines; CI, confidence interval; FDC, fixed‐dose combination; OR, odds ratio.
Adjusted model: Low Health Literacy = ethnicity + sex +ART regimen + social support + distancing +concern + overuse +harm.
