Univariate and multivariate models of the association between specific vaginal practices at baseline and follow-up, and consistent diaphragm/gel use among MIRA Intervention Group participants (2,438 participants; 12,853 persons-visits)

aIn univariate analyses, washing, wiping and insertion at follow-up visits were controlled for at study site

Multivariate analyses controlled for baseline factors and potential confounders that remained significant at P < 0.05: study site, age, educational status, women’s behavioral risk, high risk partner
