Conditional Probabilities for Venue-Based Risk Behaviors as a Function of Venue Structural Features
Latent Class | Safer Venues (46%) | Risky Venues (37%) | Equipped Venues (17%) |
---|---|---|---|
Heavy Drinking (30%) | .583 | .000 | .182 |
Same-Sex Behavior (5%) | .067 | .000 | .091 |
Heterosexual Sex Trade (21%) | .133 | .265 | .273 |
Drinking and Sex (23%) | .117 | .367 | .227 |
All HIV Risk Behaviors (22%) | .100 | .367 | .227 |
Note: Percentages in parentheses are cluster size, i.e., the percentage of the 135 venues that occur in the listed category. Cell entries are estimated conditional probabilities for the row variable conditioned on the column variable (e.g., the probability of a behavioral pattern of just heavy drinking given a Safer Venue is 0.583; or, stated alternatively, of the Safer Venues, 58.3% of them are characterized by primarily heavy drinking).
