¹Step 1(not shown) simultaneously adjusted for age, parity, level of education, country of birth, Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander identification, and area of residence.

²Step 2 adjusted for sector of birth.

³Step 3 adjusted for initiatives proactively delivered by health services (length of hospital stay, being telephoned by a care provider, visited at home by a care provider and being given contact details of someone to contact at any time).

⁴Step 4 adjusted for initiatives undertaken by women (visiting a midwife or nurse and visiting a GP).
