Multivariable Zero-Inflated Negative Binomial Models Showing the Regression of Price Received for the Most Recent Commercial Sex Act Among Female Sex Workers Reporting 1 Commercial Sex Partner at the Most Recent Sex Act (FSW1) or 2 Commercial Sex Partners at the Most Recent and Second Most Recent Sex Acts (FSW2) in the Past Year Against Its Predictors

Variable Model 1: FSW1 (n = 127, zeros = 14)
Model 2: FSW2, Most Recent Partner Included (n = 125, zeros = 9)
Model 3: FSW2, Both Partners Included, Unclustered (n = 252, zeros = 18)
Model 4: FSW2, Both Partners Included, Clustered on FSW (n = 252, zeros = 18)

All models were zero-inflated negative binomial regressions. Missing payments were omitted. Positive coefficients indicate price is positively associated with the predictor, whereas negative coefficients indicate negative correlations.
