Multiple Substance Use Among Adolescents in Scotland: Profile and Trends
This report examines the prevalence of regular use of 2 or more substances among adolescents in Scotland, and key factors associated with multiple substance use.
Appendix C: Regression
Interpreting Logistic Regression models
Table C.1 shows a selection of the output from the logistic regression model of whether any substance use. The first two columns indicate the different predictor factors included in the model. All variables have been treated as categorical variables.
The column headed 'Sig.', shows whether the factor is significant. A value of less than 0.05 in this column suggests that this factor is significant. In Table C.1, the figure for female (vs. male) is less than 0.05, it follows that - after controlling for the effect of all other factors in the model - the likelihood among females using at least one of the three types of substance is different from the likelihood among males.
The column headed 'Beta' indicates the direction of the effect. A positive value indicates that those in the category are more likely to use at least one substance, and vice versa. For example, females are less likely than males to take at least one substance as the co-efficient is negative.
Logistic regression models compare different categories against a reference category. In Table C.1, large urban area has been set as the reference category for the urban/rural classification, and the other categories are a series of comparisons with this category.
The column headed "Exp(B)" gives the odds ratio. This indicates the size of the effect. The further above 1 that the odds ratio is, the greater the increase in likelihood of using at least one substance. The further below 1, the greater the decrease in the likelihood of using at least one substance. A value of 1 for the odds ratio means that a factor has no effect.
