Difference in means/proportions between Group 2 and Group 3

Difference in means/proportions between Group 3 and Group 1

c

We determine that a woman has had sex if she provided an age at first intercourse. Also included are the 11 women in the CAPI group who responded “Don’t know” to the age at first sex question but reported sexual activity elsewhere in the survey.

d

Respondents were considered to have experienced forced sex if they reported any of the following: forced sexual debut, forced sex with current/most recent husband/partner, forced sex with a non-marital partner in the past 12 months, forced sex with any person at any other time.

e

Sexually active women were determined by the age at first sex question, according to the questionnaire skip instructions. Ns for subsequent sexual behavior questions may be lower than reported due to missing values.

f

Participants were asked how many different people they had had sexual intercourse with in their lifetime. Those who reported more than one lifetime sexual partner are included here. We exclude those who answered “Don’t know”, unless elsewhere in the survey they reported having more than one partner in the past year or having been married more than once.

g

Includes women who reported having sex on one or more of: the day of the interview, the day before the interview, and two days before the interview.

h

For each day that women reported having sex, they were asked if they used a condom for every sex act on that day. We include only women who reporting using a condom on every day that they reported having sex.
