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

^bSome 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.
