Table 3 Multivariate logistic regression with currently working in an area defined as ASGC-RA 3–5 vs an area defined as ASGC-RA 2 as the dependent variable and sex, ASGC-RA index for rural town of origin before entry to medical school and RCSWA participation as the predictor variables (N = 324) (Nagelkerke R Square = 0.112)
