  1. aOther variables not 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.
  2. Multicollinearity and interaction among the independent variables, and outliers were checked for.
  3. 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) = 11.362, degrees of freedom (df) = 3, p = 0.010] and Hosmer and Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test was not significant [χ2 = 3.585, df = 6, p = 0.733] as indicators of model appropriateness.
  4. cFor the non-intervention group, the goodness-of-fit test (Omnibus tests of Coefficients) of the final logistic regression model was significant [χ2 = 15.412, df = 6, p = 0.017] and Hosmer and Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test was not significant [χ2 = 8.774, df = 8, p = 0.362 as indicators of model appropriateness.
  5. dOR: odds ratio
  6. eCI: confidence interval
  7. fStatistically significant: p < 0.05 (two-tailed)
  8. gStatistically significant: p < 0.01 (two-tailed)
