Table 4 Average scalea of HSLI, its sub-indicesb and indicatorsc across the governance models

From: Capturing sources of health system legitimacy in fragmented conflict zones under different governance models: a case study of northwest Syria

  1. The color is darker with bigger values
  2. aThe scale ranges from 1 to 5, with 1 representing ‘very bad’ and 5 representing ‘very good.’ Although HSLI and its sub-indices are derived from various ordinal variables, their values cover a wide range of categories with very small differences between adjacent categories. As a result, they are treated as continuous variables. Moreover, given the large sample size, ANOVA is generally robust to possible violations of normality [98]
  3. bANOVA tests were conducted to assess statistically significant differences (P<0.05) among the means of HSLI and its four sub-indices across different governance models (Appendix 2)
  4. cMultinomial logistic regression were conducted to assess statistically significant differences (P<0.05) among the mean of the categorical indicators across different governance models (Appendix 2)
