Note: With the exception of the comparison of prevalence of forced sexual touching between the two groups of men, the unadjusted analyses confirmed the interpretation of results one would obtain via comparison of confidence intervals shown in Table 1. The unadjusted analyses comparing the prevalence of forced sexual touching indicated that the difference between the two groups of men is statistically significant at p=0.005.

This CI only appears to overlap with the corresponding CI for men with disabilities because of rounding error. The two sets of CIs do not, in fact, overlap. This difference is statistically significant at p=0.02.
