Perceived coercion to enter treatment among involuntarily and voluntarily admitted patients with substance use disorders

Table 4 Multivariable linear regression analysis results show the effects of independent variables on perceived coercion. N = 192 patients

Female gender	−0.13 (−11.16–1.07)	0.117
Age	−0.09 (−0.50–0.12)	0.441
Living alone	−0.01 (−5.80–5.57)	0.713
Global Score Index: Scl-90-R	0.19 (0.82–9.35)	0.015	3 %
Severity scores
Injected drug abuse	0.01 (−5.99–6.09)	0.720
Drug overdoses (lifetime)	0.10 (−2.85–9.99)	0.970
Suicide attempts (lifetime)	−0.10 (−6.84–5.40)	0.340
Treatment variable
Treated for somatic diseases^b	0.12 (−1.39–11.12)	0.113
Involuntary hospital admission	−0.03 (−7.90–5.43)	0.536

^ap-value obtained from bivariate linear regression. Only one independent variable showed a p-value <0.20 in bivariate analyses
^bDuring the 6 months prior to admission
^c R² adjusted = squared correlation coefficient to obtain a measure of explained variance
