1. Multivariable model adjusted for age, gender, and number of employees working in the pharmacy at the same time at one day. Number of years of work experience is not included in the multivariable model due to correlation with age (Correlation Coefficient: 0.66, p < 0.001). City/village is not included in the multivariable model due to correlation with level of urbanisation (Correlation Coefficient: 0.34, p < 0.001). Adjusted by backward stepwise method. Significant associations are shown in bold. OR: odds ratios; CI: confidence interval; ns: not significant; na: not applicable
