SE standard error, ICC intraclass correlation, PCV Proportional Change in Variance, expresses the change in the cluster level variance between the null model and the individual level model, and between the individual level model and the model further including the community level covariates; MOR Median Odds Ratio, DIC Davian’s information criteria
Model I^a - Empty model without any explanatory variable
Model II^b - Adjusted for individual-level factors
Model III ^c - Adjusted for community-level factors
Model IV ^d - Full model adjusted for both individual and community-level factors
* shows the best fitted model
