  1. OR Odds ratio. CI Confidence interval. Municipalities and therapists were included as fixed effects. Number of participants = 520. 6 missing cases. The multivariate model was statistically significant χ2 (15, N = 520) = 84.79, p < .001. The HL value was larger than 0.05 (i.e., 0.16), therefore indicating support for the model. Significance level set to p < .05
