2. Analytical Approach:
* Descriptive Statistics: Frequencies and percentages are used to describe categorical variables.
* Bivariate Analysis: Chi-square tests are used to assess the association between explanatory variables and self-reported STI.
* Multivariate Analysis: Multiple Binary Logistic Regression (MBLR) is used to examine the relationship between Sexual Behaviors (SBs) and self-reported STI.
* Stratified Analysis: The MBLR is conducted separately for four groups:
* Never-married women
* Married women
* Never-married men
* Married men
* Control Variables: The analysis controls for survey years to account for yearly variations in self-reported STI data.
In essence, the study uses a socioecological framework to investigate the relationship between sexual behaviors and STI, considering the influence of time and stratifying the analysis by marital status and gender.
