Multivariate logistic regression models for each Smoking and Alcohol Use Behavior outcome with OR reported for egalitarian score on gender role scale for 2133 girls, Jujuy, Argentina, 2006.

Outcome	OR	95% CI
Ever smoker	1.25	1.09-1.44
Ever drinking	1.24	1.10-1.40
Current drinkers	1.21	1.07-1.37
Current smoker	1.17	0.99-1.39
Consume ≥ 5 drinks at one time	1.15	1.00-1.33

Models were adjusted for age (oldest), race/ethnicity (European), religion (catholic), having a job (no), parental education (graduated from college), living with both parents (no), number of friends who smoke (five or more), have ever repeated a grade (no), second hand smoke exposure at home (no), depression (no), have worked in tobacco growing (no), have worked selling tobacco products (no), and smoking media literacy score (high or low), the referent for each category is into brackets.

The odds ratio is the average multiplicative increase in the change in odds of the outcome with a one-point increase in the gender role scale (e.g., from ‘strongly disagree’ to ‘somewhat disagree’.

Each outcome used the gender role scale score as the main predictor so that egalitarian gender role predicts behavior..
