After adjusting for demographic and postpartum contact variables, sector of birth no longer had an impact on satisfaction (AOR 0.95, 99% CI 0.78-1.31), but any form of health professional contact did.
In order to rigorously examine the (overtime) disparity in work hours between the public and private sectors, we adopt a multi-level linear regression model to estimate total weekly work hours and a multi-level tobit regression model to estimate total overtime work hours.5 The key independent variable is sector type (public sector or private sector).
In preliminary analyses minor sectors were examined as: a) categorical variables (minor sector of longest [lagged] duration, a mutually exclusive classification); and b) continuous variables (lagged durations of employment in all minor sectors) [ 36].
The relationships between three contextual variables (service sector, organization size, and affiliation with an academic centre) and program characteristics were examined using t-test and chi square tests for continuous and categorical variables, respectively.
Independent variables include individual socio-demographic variables, HMO enrollment, community-level health sector variables, and social capital.
The model features a modular structure, borrowing from the underlying structure of the T21 model [34] (Figure 2), where similar structural assumptions are adopted and coupled with local data to create projections for several variables across sectors (including, for instance, energy demand, and greenhouse gas emissions).
The variables S k >0 (so-called sector variables) represent the economic situation of sector k=1,…,K.
Though this seemed the best way to him, he worried the adoption of this philosophy was "hugely variable across the sector".
However this variable is both sector- and country-invariant.
Because of the lack of variation in the school sector variable, it is not useful for the match.
