From: Development and validation of five behavioral indices of flood adaptation
Level of Adaptation to Flooding | % Who Reported Adverse Health Impacts | Confidence Interval (95%) | Coeff. of Variation (%) | Odds Ratio | Confidence Interval (95%) | Pr > χ2 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Index 3: Behaviors to adopt during a flood not requiring evacuation Correlation with level of adaptation to flooding = 0.22, p < .05 | ||||||
Adaptation | 24.83 | [19.62–30.04] | 10.66 | 1.85 | [1.23–2.77] | 0.0029 |
Non-adaptation | 15.15 | [10.60–19.71] | 15.27 | 1.00 | ||
Index 4:Behaviors to adopt during a flood requiring evacuation Correlation with level of adaptation to flooding = −0.18, n.s. | ||||||
