Census data reflect information on the percent married for all residents in West and Southwest Philadelphia. We determined the percent not married based on this information. According to census data, 34% of residents in West and Southwest Philadelphia are married. Using this information, we determined that 66% were not married.
P value for the exact binomial test is the probability that observed risk counseling prevalence is equal to the prevalence in community residents, the target population (versus the two-sided alternative that they are not equal).
