Table 3 Odds ratios of having 1 up to 4 MHD (mental health disturbances); 1 up to 3 MHD/4 MHD; and odds ratios of being in a higher numbered category (having 1 MHD more) by exposure type as compared to the province of Hainaut adjusted for sex, age and educational level at 5 and 14 months after the disaster

From: Does exposure type impact differentially over time on the development of mental health disturbances after a technological disaster?

  1. SHD = Seen human damage, NSHD = Not seen human damage.
  2. 1Multivariate logistic regression model.
  3. 2Multinomial logistic regression model.
  4. 3Proportional odds model (ordinal cumulative logit model).
  5. Use of weighted data for the reference population, the province of Hainaut, weight for the Ghislenghien population =1.
  6. The reference category is ‘having no MHD’.
  7. Quest.1: Ghislenghien n = 966 (direct witness SHD: n = 79, direct witness NSHD: n = 559, indirect witness: n = 328), Province of Hainaut n = 1231.
  8. Quest.2: Ghislenghien n = 499 (direct witness SHD: n = 43, direct witness NSHD: n = 290, indirect witness: n = 166), Province of Hainaut n = 1231.
