  • *p<0.05, logistic regression.

  • **p<0.01, logistic regression.

  • †Adjusted for age and race/ethnicity (Black non-Hispanic vs White non-Hispanic).

  • ‡The ‘Community or some college’ and ‘Bachelors or above’ categories, as presented in table 1, were collapsed into a single category for the logistic regressions because ORs could not be constructed for the ‘Bachelors or above’ category, in which there were no cases.

  • STD, sexually transmitted diseases.
