Note: In the first two models, the sample is comprised of all respondents’ study weeks. In the third model, the sample is comprised of respondents’ study weeks what they had intercourse and did not use hormonal contraception. In the last model, the sample is comprised of respondents’ study weeks when they had intercourse and used hormonal contraception. The number of respondents (and corresponding weeks) is not uniform across models because some respondents switched methods during the study. These respondents appear in multiple models.
Standard errors in parentheses,
p<0.001,
p<0.01,
p<0.05
Measures are lagged and reflect respondents’ situation as of the prior week.
Measure was assessed once at baseline and therefore does not vary within respondents over time.
