Unadjusted odds ratios (OR) and adjusted odds ratios (AOR) are presented with 95% confidence intervals above.

Adjusted models for history of unintended pregnancy included the following variables as covariates, based on their association with the dependent variable at the p≤0.05 level in bivariate analysis: White race, lifetime history of mental health problem diagnosis, and intimate partner violence in the year prior to incarceration.

Adjusted models for history of sexually transmitted infections included the following covariates: lifetime history of mental health problem diagnosis, history of physical or sexual abuse before age 16, and intimate partner violence in the year prior to incarceration.

⁴

Adjusted models for history of trading sex for money or drugs included the following covariates: age, White race, drug dependence in the year prior to incarceration, history of physical or sexual abuse before age 16, intimate partner violence in the year prior to incarceration, and lifetime number of months spent in jail or prison.

⁵

We constructed a correlation matrix to test for multicolinearity among variables of interest prior to running each of the regression models. Any statistically significant correlations between independent variables and covariates were weak with a Pearson's Correlation < 0.3.

⁶

We did not include the “fear” of violence variable in the regression analysis since it was correlated with the level of neighborhood violence scale, had similar magnitude of association with dependent variables as the level of neighborhood violence scale, and was less robust than the neighborhood violence scale, since it was a single item measure.
