Weighted values taking into account the complex sample design and nonresponse.
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 were adjusted for age, education, income, nation of birth, psychological distress, and, among men, HIV status and took into account sample weights and the complex sample design.
