Non-Hispanic black men in counties with a greater shortage of males (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 1.9; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.1, 3.5) and a greater number of incarcerated males (AOR=1.6; 95% CI 1.1, 2.3) in the non-Hispanic black population had significantly greater odds of having two or more partners. Those in two low sex-ratio categories (AOR=2.4; 95% CI 1.0, 5.8 and AOR=4.1; 95% CI 1.6, 10.0) and one high incarceration-rate category (AOR=2.1; 95% CI 1.2, 3.6) had significantly greater odds of having five or more partners.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion.<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Sex ratios and incarceration rates were associated with the number of opposite-sex partners in some groups. Because the risk of HIV\/STI transmission depends, in part, on the number of partners, it is important to determine the causal relationships among these associations to help better understand racial\/ethnic HIV\/STI disparities and improve prevention programs and interventions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/00333549101250s411","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,1,28]],"date-time":"2017-01-28T13:18:37Z","timestamp":1485609517000},"page":"70-80","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":86,"title":["Associations of Sex Ratios and Male Incarceration Rates with Multiple Opposite-Sex Partners: Potential Social Determinants of HIV\/STI Transmission"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"125","author":[{"given":"Enrique R.","family":"Pouget","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"National Development and Research Institutes, Inc., New York, NY"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Trace S.","family":"Kershaw","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Epidemiology and Public Health, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, CT"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Linda M.","family":"Niccolai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Epidemiology and Public Health, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, CT"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jeannette R.","family":"Ickovics","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Epidemiology and Public Health, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, CT"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kim M.","family":"Blankenship","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sociology, Duke University, Durham, NC"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2010,7,1]]},"reference":[{"issue":"39","key":"bibr1-00333549101250S411","first-page":"1073","volume":"57","year":"2008","journal-title":"MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep"},{"key":"bibr2-00333549101250S411","volume-title":"Trends in reportable sexually transmitted diseases in the United States, 2007: National surveillance data for chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis","author":"Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (US)","year":"2008"},{"key":"bibr3-00333549101250S411","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.296.8.964"},{"key":"bibr4-00333549101250S411","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/oso\/9780198545996.001.0001"},{"key":"bibr5-00333549101250S411","first-page":"1","volume":"384","author":"Fryar CD","year":"2007","journal-title":"Adv Data"},{"key":"bibr6-00333549101250S411","first-page":"1","volume":"362","author":"Mosher WD","year":"2005","journal-title":"Adv Data"},{"key":"bibr7-00333549101250S411","volume-title":"Too many women?
