Results from bivariable and multivariable logistic regression models values statistically significant at p < 0.05 bolded.

a

Model adjusts for age, partnership, education, wealth, region, contraceptive use, and method source. Parity excluded due to collinearity with age. Residence excluded due to collinearity with wealth.

b

Region includes Afar, Benishangul Gumuz, Dire Dawa, Gambella, Harari; combined due to small samples. SNNP-R = Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples' Region.

c

Public higher-level facility includes government-operated hospitals, health centers, pharmacies, and other government-operated health facilities, except for health posts.

d

HEW = health extension worker.
