Comparison of availability of modern contraceptives in public and private health facilities: Univariable and Multiple Logistic Regression

Contraceptive type available	OR1 [95 % CI]	OR2 [95 % CI]
Combined oral contraceptive
Private	1
Public	0.58 [0.10–3.50]	0.63 [0.33–11.84]
Progestin only
Private	1
Public	7.60* [1.43–40.39]	0.30 [0.02–4.71]
Male condoms
Private	1
Public	0.80 [0.14–4.62]	0.30 [0.01–7.46]
Implants
Private	1
Public	5.85* [1.01–34.10]	3.24 [0.11–93.07]
Copper IUD
Private	1
Public	5.85* [1.01–34.10]	3.24 [0.11–93.07]

For the multiple regression the following categories of contraceptives: the combined oral contraceptives, the male condoms, the implants and the copper IUD contained three predictor variables namely, the type of facility (eg LCS, pharmacy) under each health institution, the last time the facility was stocked with contraceptives and the average number of clients. The progestin only contraceptive contained two predictor variables namely the type of facility (eg LCS, pharmacy) under each health institution and the average number of clients per day
