All models control for sociodemographic characteristics (race/ethnicity, educational attainment, financial status, and age) as well as behavioral characteristics (prior history of substance use and depressive symptoms, body mass index). In Model 1, heterosexual men are the referent group. In Model 2, heterosexual women are the referent group.

CI = confidence interval; IRR = incidence risk ratio; LGBQ = lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer.
