Notes.
p < 0.05
p< 0.01. Models adjust for all variables in each column that do not have a “NA” in its cell. Very low switching intentions includes those responding it is very unlikely they switch methods in the next 3 months, while not very low switching intentions is everyone else. IUC is intrauterine contraception. Infrequent religious attendance were those who responded they went once or twice a year or never, while frequent religious attendance were those who responded they went at least 3 times a year. For frequency of sex, none were those who reported no sex with a male in the past three months, moderate were those who reported sex less than once a month, about once a month, or a few times a month with a male, and frequent were those who reported sex about once a week or more.
