Hi colleagues,

I would immensely appreciate help to interpret the results of running the lincom command with the syntax below.

My interpretation is that clients of sex workers (Client=1, non-client=0) who are married have an odds ratio of 2.96 in terms of not being medically circumcised (vmmc_rev=1 not being medically circumcised, vmmc=0, being medically circumcised) compared to non clients of sex workers who are single.

In advance, many thanks for your help with this.
