a
Network size was determined by the median. The odds ratios are based on comparison to network size less than shown in column.
b
Controlled for overall network size
c
Controlled for participant type (index or network), network size, and individual factors (age, education, sexual debut, relationship status, incarceration in past 6 months, smoked crack or cocaine in past 3 months, indicators of a greater history of drug use)
d
Past 6 months
e
Trust was for network members ranged from 1 –“don’t trust at all” – to 10 – “trust with my life”
f
p ≤ 0.05,
g
p ≤ 0.01,
h
p ≤ 0.001
