Exp(1.471) = 4.35, that is your odds ratio

Is your independent variable categorical?
If not, a one unit increase in your IV would yield a 335% greater chance of membership in the "1" value of your DV.
If it is categorical, members of the IV group at the "1" level have a 335% greater chance of membership in the "1" value of the DV.

Hello all:

I have run a simple bivariate logistic regression SPSS 19 for Windows.
The predictor is significantly associated with the outcome--with a
fairly large Odds Ratio. However, the classification table listed does
not classify particularly well. I have pasted the output below. Any
help would be greatly appreciated.

                                        Classification Table(a)
                                Predicted
                        o_adhdalc
        Observed                .00     1.00    Percentage Correct
Step 1  o_adhdalc       .00     209     0       100.0
                1.00    74      0       .0
Overall Percentage                              73.9


                                Variables in the Equation

                B       S.E.    Wald    df      Sig.    Exp(B)
Step 1a p2_alcadhd_l    1.471   .298    24.377  1       .000
        Constant        -3.335  .512    42.450  1       .000    .036


Thank you!
