Adjusted Logistic Regression Models of Other Sexual Risk Behaviors by Contraceptive Type Among Sexually Active Female High School Students Using LARC or Moderately Effective Methods Using Data From the 2013 National Youth Risk Behavior Surveya
| Contraceptive Type | Sexual Risk Behavior, aPR (95% CI)b | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sexual Initiation Before Age 13 y (n = 610) |
≥4 Lifetime Sexual Partners (n = 608) |
≥2 Sexual Partners in Past 3 mo (n = 611) |
Drank Alcohol or Used Drugs Before Last Sexual Intercourse (n = 605) |

| LARC vs oral contraceptives | ||||
| LARC use | 2.01 (0.77-5.22) | 1.87 (1.36-2.58) | 2.61 (1.75-3.90) | 1.28 (0.75-2.18) |

Abbreviations: aPR, adjusted prevalence ratio; LARC, long-acting reversible contraception.
a
The same models were run twice to make comparisons with 2 different reference groups: (1) oral contraceptive users, and (2) Depo-Provera, patch, or ring users. The analytic samples are unweighted numbers.
b
Adjusted models included self-reported grade and race/ethnicity.
