Odds ratio (OR) greater than 1 indicates that a participant who owns a phone has a greater likelihood of engaging in this behavior as compared to someone who does not own a phone. OR less than 1 indicates that a participant who owns a phone has a lower likelihood of engaging in this behavior as compared to someone who does not own a phone.
N are the person-rounds of each stratified group that were used to fit the models for odds ratios.
The OR were adjusted for visit rounds, location, SES, religion, education, current marital status, and occupation.
The OR were adjusted for number of sexual partners, alcohol use before sex, and inconsistent condom use.
