  1. aOther variables not statistically significant in univariate analysis were: Participant's place of residence, marital status and total number of pregnancies. Age as a possible confounder and all variables that were significant at the level of p < 0.2 in univariate analysis were retained in the multivariate regression model. Multicollinearity and interaction among the independent variables, and outliers were checked for.
  2. bThe goodness-of-fit test (Omnibus tests of Coefficients) of the final logistic regression model in the intervention group was significant [Chi-square statistic (χ2) = 9.376, degrees of freedom (df) = 3, p = 0.025] and Hosmer and Lemeshow goodness of fit test was not significant [χ2 = 2.785, df = 6, p = 0.835] as indicators of model appropriateness.
  3. cFor the non-intervention group, the goodness-of-fit test (Omnibus tests of Coefficients) of the final logistic regression model was significant [χ2 = 13.018, df = 6, p = 0.043] and Hosmer and Lemeshow goodness of fit test was not significant [χ2 = 5.617, df = 8, p = 0.690 as indicators of model appropriateness.
  4. dOR: odds ratio
  5. eCI: confidence interval
  6. fStatistically significant: p < 0.05 (two-tailed)
  7. gStatistically significant: p < 0.01(two-tailed)
