Note: AOR adjusted odds ratio; bold text denotes statistically significant findings at p < .05,p < .10. Estimates are adjusted for all variables and interactions listed in this table. Country comparisons are within each region. For the female sample there were only 3 countries for comparison within Southern Africa since the Lesotho female data set did not contain data regarding alcohol consumption during last sex.
