Notes: All coefficients significant at the 95% level are in bold font. The estimated conditional models were specified as follows:

DVij = γ0011 Ageij + ß12 Genderij + ß13Marital statusij + ß14 Empolyment statusij+ ß15 Exposure to media + ß16 Househod wealth indexj + γ01 CBO densityj + γ02 Pair-wise assignmentj + γ03HIV Prevalencej + u0j + rij

where DVij is the dependent variable from ith individual in the jth community; γ00 is the non-random intercept term; ßij is the coffecient for the ith individual-level variable from jth community; γ0j is the coefficient for the jth community-level variable; u0j is the community-level residual; and rij is the individual-level residual.
