The interaction of social support and remoteness indicates that as remoteness increases, persons with low levels of social support are less likely to be highly distressed.
Multivariate models will adjust for potential confounders including site size, duration of PIH support, and remoteness of health facilities.
To explore the interaction of social support and remoteness in the prediction of high psychological distress, Figure 3 was constructed to plot the association between social support and high distress for each remoteness category using coefficients from Table 3.
Exploration of the significant interaction of social support and remoteness demonstrates that the direction of this association was consistent across urban, regional and remote areas, though the strength varied.
Results suggest that the six variable model including age, gender, marital status, education, social support and remoteness was a better fit than the constant only model (Χ 6) = 364.06, p < .001).001
Results also indicate that when controlling for age, education, marital status, social support and remoteness, there was no influence of gender on high distress in either the combined urban-remote baseline sample or the three year follow-up data from the urban-regional HCS.
For example, the complexity of services GPs deliver increases with remoteness and remote practitioners have less support and have more responsibility for their patients' health [ 14].
These secondary analyses support an association between remoteness and both social capital and health service accessibility, though findings of no difference between outer-regional and remote-very remote areas also suggest a level of insensitivity of our remoteness index to these underlying community characteristics.
They have thrived here for millennia, shielded by their remoteness and supported by the abundance of the temperate rainforests and rich ocean.
A binary logistic regression examining the influence of age, gender, marital status, education, remoteness and social support on reporting of high distress was conducted using the HCS and ARMHS social support indices separately in the HCS follow-up dataset using participants who had completed all model variables and both indices of social support (N = 1716; see Table 2).
