The main independent variables for models 1, 2, and 3 were physical GBV, sexual GBV, and emotional GBV, respectively. These independent variables were highly correlated and were therefore examined in separate models.
2
Models control for the following (not shown): age, ethnicity, education, occupation, household SES, number of living children, and age at first intercourse.
