Note: Dependent variable – sexual risk behavior index (a composite risk score was created by indexing those who had premarital sex, had two or more sexual partners, drank before sex, less than 18 years old to experience sex, ever inconsistent condom use, and inconsistent condom use in the past three sexual episodes). The possible sexual risk index ranged from zero to six with the higher score indicating a higher sexual risk. Model fit: F(5, 141) = 7.36, p = 0.000, R = 0.46, and adjusted R2 = 0.18.
