The base model shows the effects of age and female gender on sexual risk taking outcomes. All subsequent models include age and gender as covariates, but these effects are not shown in the table. All models adjust for potential effects of friendship network on sexual risk taking. N=127 for baseline analyses and N=115 for prospective follow-up analyses.
