Reference category is SPQ

For mean age at first sex, sample includes only those who ever had sex; for inconsistent condom use, sample includes only those who had sex in the last year

a

Logit regression

b

OLS regression

c

Negative binomial regression

d

Adjusted for age, education, marital status, ethnicity, place of birth, economic status, and interviewer dummy variables; the variable ever married is dropped from the regression of ever had sex for females
