Abbreviations: aPR, adjusted prevalence ratio; CI, confidence interval; HIV, human immunodeficiency virus; PR, prevalence ratio; VMMC, voluntary medical male circumcision.
aThe outcome was a complete subindex (VMMC subindex, 2/2; HIV subindex, 2/2; condom subindex, 2/2; consent proxy, 2/2). PRs were calculated by modified Poisson regression models with generalized estimating equations and robust variance estimators to account for clustering of responses at the facility level.
bFinal multivariable models for each subindex included adjustment for country, preprocedure counseling mode, ever having had a sexual encounter, and receipt of a postprocedure counseling session.
c P value < .05.
