Notes. AOR = adjusted odds ratio; CI = confidence interval; NA = not applicable. Percentages reflect weighted estimates of the distribution of the variables for the US young adult population.
a All odds ratios are adjusted for respondent gender, respondent race, respondent education, relationship length, and relationship type.
b Because of a significant reciprocity × perpetrator gender interaction, results are presented separately for perpetrators who were men and those who were women.
c The reciprocity × gender interaction was dropped from the model because it was not significant.
* P < .001.
