Note. AOR = adjusted odds ratio; CI = confidence interval. Logistic regressions were conducted in which gay or bisexual men and lesbian or bisexual women were compared with heterosexuals (the reference category); analyses were stratified by gender. Analyses took into account sample weights and the complex sample design.

^aWeighted values taking into account the complex sample design and nonresponse.

^bAdjusted for age, education, income, nation of birth, psychological distress, and, among men, HIV status.
