  1. Note. Explained variance indicates the variance proportions of the dependent variable accounted for by the independent variables together. Education program coding: Physiotherapy = 0, occupational therapy = 1. 95% confidence intervals (CI) are constructed by adding and subtracting the standard error (SE) multiplied by 1.96 to/from the unstandardized estimate (b)
