Note. Totals may not sum to stated sample size due to missing data. Frequencies were not weighted. Multivariate model did not include variables with dashes (--). Multivariate model included data on 3782 Hispanic adolescent males due to missing data for potential correlates. HPV = human papillomavirus; OR = odds ratio; CI = confidence interval; ref. = referent group; NIS-Teen = National Immunization Survey-Teen.
