CSI: condomless sexual intercourse; TPB: Theory of Planned Behavior; ATB: Attitude Toward the Behavior; PBC: Perceived Behavioral Control; Col: column.
As detailed in the Methods section, the TPB factors were trichotomized using tertiles as cutoffs, and the response categories were relative (e.g., relatively positive, relatively neutral, relatively negative).
a
Dichotomized using the median as the cutoff.
