Multivariable model to assess association between a positive rapid test for syphilis and method used to sample female sex workers

Model Variables included Prevalence difference 95% CI Prevalence ratio 95% CI
1 Method 16.8 3.5 to 30.0 3.3 1.5 to 7.2
2 Method, age 16.7 3.6 to 29.7 3.3 1.5 to 7.2
3 Method, age, urban district/county 10.2 4.0 to 16.3 2.2 1.2 to 3.9

Prevalence difference refers to the absolute difference in positive rapid syphilis test between Priorities for Local AIDS Control Efforts and respondent-driven sampling (RDS). Weights for RDS respondents are from RDS-II estimation procedure.
