This table reports estimated risk differences corresponding to the effect of assignment to the text message treatment on the probability of a clinic visit for the specified subsamples. For the analysis of heterogeneity, phone numbers that were repeated in the analysis and thus have a constructed (continuous) value for the covariate are included in the subsample reporting non-zero values; that is, current user of contraception includes phone numbers with multiple observations in which at least one is identified as a current user of contraception; current non-user of contraception includes those phone numbers for which no recorded observation reports any contraceptive use. 28 observations are missing estimated distance to the closest facility. Each cell reports the coefficient and 95% CI, p values and the number of observations.
