No allowance for multiplicity was made in the analyses. Adjusted models control for a four-level categorical variable indicating biological parents living in the home, and age. 95% CIs in brackets. SEs in all models are adjusted for clustering at the level of programme group; intent-to-treat (ITT) models for girls’ outcomes also adjust for clustering at the level of the caregiver. ORs are statistically significant at *p<0.05; **p<0.01; ***p<0.001 (there are no statistically significant ORs in this table). The reference group for the ITT columns is the full control group; the reference group for the per-protocol (PP) columns is the PP control group, that is, girls in the wait-list control arm who attended at least 75% of sessions. Differences between ORs for non-per-protocol and per-protocol adherence are not statistically significant at conventional levels. Prevalence of forced sex in blank cells is 0 and thus the OR and aOR are undefined. Obs reflects the number of observations for ITT analysis.
