Regression coefficients and p values (shown below in parentheses) are shown for multiple regression models of the change from baseline to follow up in each of the four IYCF indicators shown.
The maximum number of barriers any single caregiver reported from that category or domain is shown in parentheses after the barrier category or domain name.
