*The analytic sample consists of those who completed baseline, 3-month follow-up, and 12-month follow-up questionnaires as well as those that reported discontinuation at the 3-month follow-up point. The demographics of the analytic sample were compared with the demographics of all respondents who were interviewed at baseline. No differential loss to follow-up was found
aWhile 166 respondents participated in the baseline and 155 respondents participated in the follow-up in Zambia, not all respondents answered all survey questions. As a result, in Zambia proportions will not always equal 100%
bThis was calculated from the n = 150 that responded to the parity question in Zambia
