aN represents the denominators (i.e., the number of observations that were used in the generalized estimating equation [GEE] analyses for each outcome at each follow-up). Percentages refer to women reporting the behavior.

bOdds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated from a logistic regression model with GEE with an unstructured working correlation matrix. The model specifies the OR comparisons among the intervention groups and the control group at each follow-up.

cAt any time since the last interview among women who had not reported this behavior at baseline. Women who did not report having a sexual partner at the respective follow-up were excluded.

dAt any time since the last interview.
