-
*Clustering inherent in the study design was taken into account and regression was done using Stata’s survey (“svy”) module for high school students
-
**Primary level was combined with University degree since there was no difference between the two levels of education
-
***Age as a continuous variable is liner in relation to the logit (Box-Tidwell test p-value = 0.735)
-
Post regression test, using the Pearson’s goodness-of-fit test was carried out without factoring the complex sample design- Pearson’s GOF p-value = 0.430
