I apologize for the math error (7 times higher - not 6.)  - Also - Is
the command

listcoef, help percent

logistic (N=308): Percentage Change in Odds

  Odds of: no vs yes

----------------------------------------------------------------------
       abuse |      b         z     P>|z|      %      %StdX      SDofX
-------------+--------------------------------------------------------
     Risk |   1.56659    2.898   0.004    379.0     49.8     0.2580
       group |   0.74725    1.732   0.083    111.1     44.8     0.4952
----------------------------------------------------------------------

indicating that the odds of survival are 111% higher for Treatment
group?  and if so - is that 111% at both High/Low risk Levels?
