Multinomial logistic regression models with low effective methods as the reference category. Model 1 is unadjusted. Model 2 is adjusted for all covariates. Numbers are multinomial odds ratios. Low effectiveness is condoms, emergency contraception, or no methods. Medium effectiveness is pill, patch, ring, or shot. High effectiveness is intrauterine device or implant.
