For Pearson correlations conducted on two dichotomous variables, results generalize to the Phi coefficient, which provides the same test of independence as the Chi-square test. Race: 0 = non-Hispanic White, 1 = racial/ethnic minority; parental education: 0 = less than college degree, 1 = undergraduate or graduate degree; sexual orientation: 0 = does not identify as gay (e.g., bisexual), 1 = identifies as gay; 0 = not out to parents, 1 = out to parents; app use: 0 = never used GSN apps, 1 = ever used GSN apps; HIV testing: 0 = never tested for HIV, 1 = ever tested for HIV, condomless anal sex: 0 = never had, 1 = ever had.

No correlation coefficient produced because items only given to participants who endorsed “ever heard of PrEP.” Ns in cells range from 61 to 219 due to item branching logic and responses of “I don’t want to answer”
