Results are from multivariable linear regression models of abortion attitude scores and include a country level cluster effect. Results presented as adjusted beta coefficients with standard errors, p-values, and 95% confidence intervals (UB = upper bound, LB = lower bound). P-values significant at alpha <0.05.
