Table presents results from double-bounded dichotomous choice model estimated in Stata 11 MP, 64 bit.

Models estimated by maximum likelihood based with a modified “doubleb” Stata ado file for willingness to pay [50].

Monthly model data refers to random incentive offer α1 and bargaining incentive offer α2 to attend HIV/STI prevention talks and STI testing.

Quarterly model data refers to random incentive offer α3 and bargaining incentive offer α4 to stay free of STIs, verified by quarterly STI testing.
