|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Indicator | Base level, β0 | p-value | Base trend, β1 | p-value | Change in level, β2 | p-value | Change in trend, β3 | p-value | Change in level, β4 | p-value | Change in trend, β5 | p-value |
| (i) Proportion (%) of FP usage among mothers attending PNC/PMTCT | 64.2 | <0.001 | 0.1 | 0.784 | 4.2 | 0.389 | 0.4 | 0.351 | −5.4 | 0.01 | −0.2 | 0.603 |

Segmented regression of interrupted time-series models were fitted with an autoregressive term of one to measure the changes in levels and trends across the study phases. Positive coefficients represent increasing % whereas negative coefficients represent declining %. β 0 is the proportion at the onset of the pre-intervention phase
β 1 is the change in rate(trend) of the proportion during the pre-intervention phase. β 2 is the change in proportion at the onset of the intervention phase. β 3 is the change in rate(trend) of the proportion as compared to the rate (β 1), in the pre-intervention phase. β 4 is the change in proportion at the onset of the post-intervention phase. β 5 is the change in rate(trend) of proportion as compared to the rate (β 3) in the intervention phase. p- values correspond to the statistical significance level for the corresponding adjacent coefficient
