Model 0 is the null model, a baseline model without any determinant variable

Model I include individual-level variables (Age of respondent, working status, marital status, educational level, husband educational level, total children ever born, visited health facility last 12 months, fertility preference, media, religious, ethnicity)

Model II include household/community level variables (Place of residence, wealth index, region, sex of household head, community literacy level, and community socioeconomic status)

Model III the final model included both individual and household/community level variables
