Condom use at last sex only asked for youth who had sex in the last year.

Some missing data because people did not know symptoms or did not respond. PLACE asks about experience with three specific symptoms in last 4 weeks, clinic survey only asks if youth ever had an STI in the last year.

Notes: Some cells have fewer observations due to missing data; some columns do not sum to 100% because of rounding. na – not applicable. FP – family planning. Chi-square comparisons:

p ≤ 0.05;

^**

*p ≤ 0.01;

^***

p ≤ 0.001 for comparison between distributions for PLACE and both FOSREF facility-based youth jointly.
