In the simultaneous regression analyses, the five types of bi+ visibility strategies were entered as simultaneous predictors. In the separate regression analyses, the only predictor was bi+ visibility strategies (aggregated across type). All of the analyses controlled for age, sex/gender, sexual identity, and race/ethnicity. All of the coefficients are betas with the exceptions of the coefficients for alcohol and marijuana use problems (which are rate ratios) and cigarette use (which are odds ratios).
