NOTE: Rows 1 and 3 represent the proportions reporting each number of items on the treatment and control lists, respectively. Rows 2 and 4 represent the proportions reporting at least each number of items on the treatment and control lists, respectively. Row 5 represents the difference between Row 2 and 4, which is equal to the proportion of women who report having an abortion and the total number of treatment list items indicated by the column (i.e., the joint proportion). Row 6 is a replicate of Row 5 where negative estimates have been excluded. The sum across columns for Row 5 and 6 represent the overall estimate of the proportion of women reporting a past abortion, including and excluding violations (i.e., negative joint proportions in Row 5), respectively.
— = Sum not applicable.
