Propensity score matching in estimating the effect of managerial education on academic planning behavior. Study design: a cross-sectional study

Table 3 Balance of the propensity scores for MPE exposure: Results from PSM

Stratum	Non-Exposed to MPE (A) N	Exposed to MPE (B) N	Total	Net Difference (B-A) Using "Atts" Command
1 (range of pscore = 0 - ~0.1)#	221	0	221
2 (range of pscore = 0.1 - ~0.2)#	39	6	45
3 (range of pscore = 0.2 - ~0.3)#	7	4	11
4 (range of pscore = 0.3 - ~0.4)#	19	26	45	18.6% (p < 0.05)
5 (range of pscore = 0.4 - ~0.5)#	7	20	27
6 (range of pscore = 0.5 - ~1)#	5	67	72
Total	298	123	421

Average propensity score = .29; SD = .36; Range = .002 - .999
# pscore statistics indicate that there is no statistical difference between A and B within each stratum (p > .05), meaning that propensity scores balanced at 6 strata
