Modelled using multinomial logistic regression with the correlate as the outcome, using sexuality, 4 age groups (16−29/30−4/45−59/60+), sex and age by sex, with those heterosexuals with no same-sex sexual experience as the reference group. If a test of sexuality by sex was significant in a model with the above terms plus that interaction, at the .01 level, then separate models were run for each sex, with sexuality and 4 age groups as predictors, and results are presented separately for each sex. Test results are for an overall test of sexuality as a predictor of the outcome
Percentage of a sexuality group at each level of the outcome variable, produced as a predicted marginal from the model
Household income equivalized taking account of the numbers of adults and children (Wells et al., 2006) and split at half the median, the median, and twice the median
Results presented from separate models for males and females because of sexuality by sex interaction (F = 4.4, df = 4, p = .002) in standard model plus that interaction
Based on household composition information
Results presented from separate models for males and females because of sexuality by sex interaction (F = 4.0, df = 4, p = .003) in standard model plus that interaction
Results presented from separate models for males and females because of sexuality by sex interaction (F = 3.7, df = 4, p = .005) in standard model plus that interaction
