  • Model 1: shows the interaction of graduate status by area deprivation (IMD), note non-significant value of P=0.69.

  • Model 2: shows the interaction of graduate status by parental occupation (NS-SEC), note non-significant value of P=0.22.

  • Model 3: shows the interaction of graduate status by ethnicity, note the non-significant value of P=0.10.

  • Model 4: is the final model of all covariates, note all values are statistically significant, P<0.001.
