P values were estimated using general linear model analyses and subgroup comparisons by Tukey’s post hoc tests. The letters indicate which sociodemographic or professional practice were found to differ significantly. Subgroups with the same letters do not differ significantly while those with different letters do. OB-GYN = obstetrician-gynecologist; FHT = family health team; FHO = family health organization.
