Note. Proportions for reporting of male-male sexual contacts and contacts with prostitutes (asked of men only) are not shown because only 5 men were included in the study sample. Note also that in Audio-CASI administration, questions were displayed on PC screen simultaneously with their audio presentation. (Respondents had option of turning off this video display, but none did so.)

1

Paper SAQ different from CASI and Audio-CASI at p < 0.10 by t-test; CASI and Audio-CASI not significantly different by same test.

2

Question asked of women who reported being pregnant.

3

Audio-CASI and Video-CASI administrations were programmed to ask about abortions and miscarriages, etc. only when the number of pregnancies exceeded the number of children. In the paper and pencil format, these questions were asked of all women. Thus the data from these two formats is not directly comparable. For exploratory purposes in this analysis, we imputed a value of “no” for abortions and miscarriages for all instances in which the CASI formats did not ask about the number of abortions or miscarriages, etc.

Ns shown are the minimum sample size for calculation of any proportion shown in the column.

5

In the Audio-CASI administration, questions were displayed on the PC screen simultaneously with their audio presentation. Respondents had the option of turning off this video display, but none did so.
