CHC, combined hormonal contraception

a

Adjusted for age, race/ethnicity, marital status, education, parity, insurance status (VA only or dual), and VA PCP gender. n=1152 for adjusted models due to missing data: provider gender (n=15), insurance (n=1), marital status (n=1).

b

Logistic regression model with outcome CHC use vs. no CHC use.

c

Multinomial regression model with 4 levels of contraceptive use: 1) CHC methods: pill, patch, ring (reference group); 2) Non-CHC prescription methods: IUD, implant, injection, male or female sterilization; 3) Non-prescription methods: barrier methods, fertility-awareness, withdrawal; 4) No method.
