Bolded P-value <0.05
†
Includes participants regardless of sexual activity. All other analyses include only participants who were sexually active to fit the models for odds ratios.
§
Odds Ratio (OR) greater than 1 indicates that a participant who owns a phone has a greater likelihood of engaging in this behavior as compared to someone who does not own a phone. OR less than 1 indicates that a participant who owns a phone has a lower likelihood of engaging in this behavior as compared to someone who does not own a phone.
‡
The OR were adjusted for time, SES, location and religion.
