Note: The values in the table were computed using a logistic regression model. The multivariate logistic regression (i.e., the adjusted probabilities) also controlled for age, marital status and geography. The adjusted probabilities were computed by testing the independent relationship between a specific social determinant of health and the probability of being in higher distress when the remaining variables were held constant (i.e., set to the mean value).
