Note, in the Phone-Passive model, an interaction term of the “gender” variable with a split time variable (cut points are 130 and 240) was used to make the variable meet the model assumption. HR of Male (1–129) = 0.67 (0.39–1.14) (p = 0.14), HR of Male (130–239) = 0.58 (0.34–0.99) (p = 0.05), and HR of Male (240–301) = 1.52 (0.95–2.42) (p = 0.08).
