Values reported as adjusted odds ratio (95% CI)*†.
Models controlled for the following individual and household level factors: age, age at marriage, partner age difference, number of living children, death of a child, gender composition of children, religion, residence, wealth, employment, education (respondent and partner), violence index, decision-making autonomy index, HIV knowledge index, reproductive health knowledge index, media exposure index.
Bolded figures are significant at 0.05 level.
Information about HIV not collected in the 2008 Egypt DHS – Women’s Questionnaire; information about HIV only collected in sub-sample of the Madagascar 2008–09 DHS – Women’s Questionnaire, therefore excluded from this analysis.
Information about reproductive health only collected in sub-sample of the Madagascar 2008–09 DHS – Women’s Questionnaire.
