  • Multivariate regression adjusted for all other covariates listed and account for the complex survey design. Values in bold type indicate p<0.05.

  • *Among women not using highly effective contraception at baseline.

  • †Among women using effective/highly effective contraception at baseline.

  • ‡Sample sizes for food insecurity were too small in Burkina Faso to detect differences among women who used contraception at baseline and follow-up.
