  1. Crude RR: Relative risk of univariate analysis
  2. Adjusted RR: Basic demographic characteristics (i.e., age, gender) and variables that were associated with stigma attitude toward people with HIV in univariate analysis among general residents at the 0.10 significance level were put stepwise in a multivariate logistic regression model
  3. RR Relative risk (95% CI)
  4. * P <0.05; ** P <0.01
