aβs and 95% CIs were calculated by modified Poisson regression models with generalized estimation equations and robust variance estimators to account for clustering of responses at the facility level.
bFinal multivariable model included adjustment for country, facility setting, preprocedure counseling mode, ever having had a sexual encounter, and receipt of postprocedure counseling session.
