1Logistic regression models did not include LAM use or knowledge because only 0.2% of control‐group women knew about the method. Models included study group, education, age, age at initiation of cohabitation, caste, and parity. Modern methods included pill, condoms, IUD, and sterilization. Models for change in knowledge also included baseline value.
