  1. The estimate of variance in level 2 was 0.01 with the standard error of 0.02 in the two-level (Beijing vs. non-Beijing) ordered logistic regression analysis for anxiety. An LR test comparing the model with the one-level survival model didn’t favor the random-intercept model with P > 0.05. The estimate of variance in level 2 was 0.32 with the standard error of 0.04 in the two-level ordered logistic regression analysis for depression. An LR test comparing the model with the one-level survival model favored the random-intercept model with P < 0.05
