I thank Chaix et al. (1) for their observations on issues discussed in our article (2) and agree with them that multilevel logistic models have an advantage over generalized estimating equation methods for modeling variations in health or health-related behavior between areas by providing estimates for the extent to which area-level variations can be explained by a given set of individual- and area-level factors.
