Receiver operating characteristic curves for caregiver health as an indicator of poor OAC health.

<p>The SF-8, re-indexed to a 5 point scale, is used as the caregiver health measure to indicate fair or poor child health (Panel A), child symptoms in the past 2 weeks (Panel B), and persistent fair or poor child health (Panel C).</p

Scaled estimates of HIV testing preferences by gender, prior HIV testing status and time since the last HIV test.

<p>Gender-specific estimates of the effect of each attribute level on HIV testing preferences, separately for prior testers vs. those who never tested (Panels A and B), and those who tested in the past year vs. those who tested more than 1 year ago (Panels C and D). Models included correlated random main effects and fixed interactions between attribute levels and participants' HIV testing histories. p-values indicate statistically significant differences between the respective groups, as measured by the interaction terms. Coefficients were re-scaled to range from 0 to 10.</p
