From: Towards an understanding of barriers to condom use in rural Benin using the Health Belief Model: A cross sectional survey

  1. 2 LL Chi-square: 32.2 P-value < 0.0001
  2. Score Chi-square: 32.2 P-value < 0.0001
  3. C-statistic = 0.81
  4. 1Crude OR: calculated from a univariate logistic regression
  5. 2 Adjusted OR: Calculated from a multivariate logistic regression including Perceived incomplete rotection using condoms and reporting any problem using condom.
