Note. Totals may be less than stated sample size due to missing data. The multivariable model included data on 814 women due to missing data on correlates. The multivariable model did not include variables with dashes (--). HPV = human papillomavirus, CARE = Community Awareness Resources Education, OR = odds ratio, CI = confidence interval, ref. = referent group, STI = sexually transmitted infection.
