ABSTRACT

This chapter describes the outcome and predictor variables included in the quantitative models. It outlines the research methods used to construct each different type of model before the results produced by those models are revealed. The chapter describes the results of the different models are contrasted and compared with the theoretical frameworks and explanations. It also describes the outcome and predictor variables that were entered into the various models, as well as all the sources used to obtain data. The chapter discusses identical variables were not employed in all the models due to the model's different methodological specifications. It explores the various stages of the diffusion of boot camps, and examines whether the early diffusion of boot camps differed from the overall diffusion of boot camps, cross-sectional logistic regression models of the early diffusion of boot camps were constructed.
