Note. OR = odds ratio; CI = confidence interval; IPA = independent practice association; HMO = health maintenance organization.

aClassification of sexually active girls was based on a chart note indicating sexual activity or on visit content in chart or encounter data that indicated receipt of testing, diagnosis, or services related to sexual and reproductive health.

bOdds ratios for each predictor, adjusted for the remaining 3 predictors in the model.

cAge was modeled as a linear predictor; departure from linear trend was nonsignificant.

*Statistically significant at α = .05 after Bonferroni correction for 4 tests.
