Pregnancy intention is measured using a single item: ‘Is this pregnancy planned?’ in (a) and by a combination of that item and a variable gauging women’s feelings about the pregnancy in (b). Details of the definition are described in the Methods section.

The data are presented as odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals. Ref reference
