^†Results differ from those published in Gebreselassie et al. (reference 8) because NGO facilities were excluded from the sample in 2014 and were subsequently removed from this analysis to improve comparability between the two waves.

^‡Sizes of subgroups (counts) are unweighted, whereas percentages were calculated with weights for national representation; percentages are proportions of nonmissing responses, except where explicitly noted. Notes: na=not applicable. Percentage distributions may not add to 100.0% because of rounding.
