  • Percentage of participants reporting abstinence is shown in table above with 95% CIs in parentheses. p Values obtained from χ2 test for difference between proportions.

  • *Estimates were obtained among participants having completed a 6-month or 12-month survey.

  • †Estimates were obtained assuming participants missing a 6-month or 12-month survey were not abstinent.

  • ‡Estimates were obtained by pooling results across 10 multiply imputed data sets.
