Vaginal sex and anal sex were asked to all the participants; however, other sexual behaviors were asked only those who were sexually experienced. Model built using a series of multiple logistic regression models to estimate the relative contribution of gender power relationship control on the three domains of sexual behavior while controlling for individual, family, and community related factors. p value calculated using Likelihood Ratio Tests
