Sandra, You're welcome. I am not comfortable with your new interpretation. It does not mention the adjustment that the model makes for the contributions of the other variables, so it could be read as holding those other variables constant. In particular, "For every one-percentage-point increase in llti_stand" may suggest that you can increase llti_stand by many percentage points. You need to show that your data would support such changes.
