  1. Bolded p-values indicate significance at p < 0.05
  2. Both models demonstrated goodness of fit (Nigeria: Hosmer-Lemeshow chi-square with 8df = 3.94, p = 0.863; Côte d’Ivoire: Hosmer-Lemeshow chi-square with 8df = 2.50, p = 0.962)
  3. a Ns do not match Tables 1-4 due to missingness
  4. b Created based on respondent report of having lived in a village (rural) or a town or city (urban) at the time of the abortion
  5. c Based on level of school attending at time of abortion, if attending, or highest level attended according to baseline survey interview. This assumes that respondents who were not attending school at the time of their abortion had already completed their schooling
