Specifically, we look at the interaction between establishment rule and the three types of interventions (i.e., establishment rule × peer group, establishment rule × managerial group, and establishment rule × combined group).
Similarly, we found significant interaction effects between managerial intervention × establishment rule (β = 0.563, P < .01) and the combined intervention × establishment rule (β = 0.840, P < .01).01
In examining the cross-level interaction effects, there was a significant cross-level interaction effect between peer intervention × establishment rule (β = 0.421, P < .01).01
This contextual variable (establishment rule) had a moderating effect on the intervention, which would have been missed if one were to examine only individual-level effects.
The fact that we found significant interaction effects on all three intervention groups indicates that establishment rule had a substantial impact on condom use.
At the establishment level, the variable establishment rule was coded 1 = yes, 0 = no, indicating whether the establishment had a policy that required GROs to use condoms every time they engage in risky sexual behavior.

Last month, the Treasury minister David Gauke told backbench MPs who had called a short debate on multinationals and tax avoidance that the government did still hold out hope that shortcomings in international tax guidelines – specifically in what constitutes a business taxable in the UK under permanent establishment rules - would be addressed by the G20.
