- Sample: Young people (15–29 years) who had sex before for primary outcomes and all young people for secondary outcomes, restricted to male- and female-headed households, respectively
- Numbers are percentages (%) of individuals reporting the outcome in the control and treatment (CT) groups of the Manicaland Trial and the estimated ATEs with 95% CIs, separately for individuals living in male- and female-headed households. ATEs for each outcome were estimated from separate mixed-effects logistic regression model, controlling for age and wealth index quarters (not shown), with study site and treatment cluster random effects. No results for transactional sex are shown because of very small sample sizes. Full results, including p-values and sample sizes, can be found in Additional file 3 (section 2)
- a Analyses were restricted to those aged 15–20 years as it was not applicable to older individuals
- b No regression model was estimated due to sample size limitations
- c Having had more than one sexual partner in the past 12 months
- d Reporting at least 7 symptoms of psychological distress of a 25-item scale
- e Having been to a beer hall (bar) in the past month or drinking more than 3 drinks when drinking alcohol
