  1. "Frequency" indicates the number of "yes" answers to the independent variables. Data are combined for both districts (N = 78). OR is the odds ratio while CI is the confidence interval. The p-values are indicated just for easy noting of the statistical significance of the differences tested/shown (cf. Chapter 4)
