π

Jonckheere-Terpstra test of ordered (mean response) differences between the four strata (two-sided test).

Significant main effects (reference group):

a

Pregnancy status (non-pregnant),

b

City (NNR),

c2

T-ACE (no risk),

c3

Binge drinking when non-pregnant (non-binge drinker),

d

Marital Status (single/divorced/never married/widowed),

e

Age (< 30 years),

f

Education (< middle level college) and

g

Income (> 3,000 rubles).

The significant main effects are obtained after controlling for confounding variables, indicated as superscripts on each question domain. For example, for the model examining differences in influence of husband/partner on decisions about drinking behavior (Husband/Partnera,b,c2,c3,e), the main effects reported for pregnancy status are adjusted for differences in city of residence, alcohol drinking risk captured using the T-ACE, binge drinking and age.

Reference category for the multinomial equations was the response category Not at all or Not very much or Not sure.

**

p-value < 0.05,

*

p-value < 0.10 (two-tailed tests).

A total proportion of responses for each determinant equals 100% (or 1.0)
