TOTAL 4668 7140.

Columns 2 and 6: Number of FSWs contributing the Cox (nCox) and binomial (nlogit) regressions. Columns 3 and 4: mean rate of condom acquisition during career before 1-1-2004 (h^1) and after 1-1-2004 (h^2). Columns 7 and 8: Mean probability of condom use at beginning of career before 1-1-2004 (π^1) and after 1-1-2004 (π^2). Columns 5, 9 and 10: p-values of the likelihood-ratio test of no difference pre- and post-intervention in condom acquisition (pCox), condom use at beginning of career (plogit) and combined tests (pTotal). Columns 11 and 12: Estimate of the difference between the average yearly slopes of consistent condom use before and after 1-1-2004 with the GEE approach with a p-value for the test that this difference is significantly different from 0. “BB” stands for “brothel-based” and “NBB” stands for “Non brothel-based”.
