TL;DR
Logistic regression analysis revealed that a more parsimonious model than the full HBM and TRA model accurately predicted both intention and behavior and may be helpful in developing tuberculosis education and screening programs for Mexican migrant farmworkers.
Abstract
In this study, logistic regression analysis revealed that a more parsimonious model than the full HBM and TRA model accurately predicted both intention and behavior. The findings may be helpful in developing tuberculosis education and screening programs for Mexican migrant farmworkers.
