Table 4.

aLR: likelihood ratio.

bFor each outcome, model 1 includes all HIV infection and transmission risk indicators that met a Cronbach α=.10 criterion in previous models.

cN/A: not applicable.

dThe statistical significance of the comparison of the two models.

eFor each outcome, model 2 adds to model 1 the Facebook network and communication variables that met a Cronbach α=.10 criterion in previous models.

fDepression is a numeric measure, so an F test and F change are reported instead of LR chi-square tests.
