Statistical analysis

Bivariate comparisons between the two groups (high preferences; low preferences) were done using t-test and chi-square procedures, as appropriate. Multiple logistic regressions were used to examine the relationship between predictors and the five dichotomized outcome measures separately (own home, relatives’ home, assisted living, nursing home/old age home, foreign country). Thus, five multiple logistic regressions were performed. The level of significance was chosen at a p-value of less than .05. Statistical analyses were performed using Stata 14.0 (StataCorp, College Station, Texas).
