Note. AOR = adjusted odds ratio; CI = confidence interval; ICC = intraclass correlation. Estimates were obtained from logistic multilevel models that specified school as a random effect. All models were adjusted for the following school-level design factors: school configuration, enrollment size, and proportion of students who reported having had sex at baseline. All models were also adjusted for the following potential student-level confounders: age, gender, race/ethnicity, number of months between baseline and ninth grade follow-up survey, late enrollment into the study (i.e., January to February 2012), and academic grades. Models addressing recent sexual behaviors also included the student’s baseline measure of the outcome.

a

An AOR > 1 indicates that more students in the intervention condition reported doing the behavior relative to those in the comparison condition.

b

Sensitivity analyses excluding the school-level covariate “ever had sex.”

c

Sensitivity analyses excluding the students who completed a baseline survey in February 2012.
