Any Opposite Sex Friends (vs. None) 1.61* 1.24 1.01

Note: “With Controls” refers to four models containing one peer context variable each, plus sociodemographic controls, and Full Multivariate refers to a single model including all four peer context variables and sociodemographic controls. Risk ratios presented here contrast resondents who initiated sexual activity between Waves 1 and 2 with those who reported being sexually inexperienced at both Waves; we omit risk ratios from the equation comparing respondents who were already sexually experienced at Wave 1 with those who reported being sexually inexperienced at both Waves.
