Bruce et al:   Thanks for your response

Here is an example of the data requested.   As you can see, foreign-born women are only recruited in the community and not clinics, and native/american born women are recruited and exposed in the clinic and not the community. 

DATA LIST /ID 1-3 SEX 5 (A) AGE 7-8 nativity(10) site (11) prep(12).
BEGIN DATA
001 m 28 110
002 f 29 221
003 f 45 111
 ...
128 m 17 220
END DATA.

Where:

• nativity(1--American; 2=foreignborn)
• Site: (1=clinic; 2-community)
• prep exposure: (0=no; 1=yes)

Hope this helps - thanks - Yy

Perhaps you should post a small sample of what the data looks like.  I say
that, because what you've said about it suggests that nativity and location
are completely confounded. Specifically, you said, "Foreign born were
approached only in the community, while Americans in the clinic."  You
appear to be saying that the Foreign+Clinic and American+Community cells are
empty.  If that is not what you meant, please try again, and please post a
small sample of the data (e.g., with a DATA LIST command). 

HTH.
