  1. *p < 0.05, n = 27 PHCs except n = 26 for cigarette cessation advice and n = 25 for brief alcohol counselling. β beta coefficient, CI confidence interval. Using each PHC as the unit of analysis, univariable linear regression assessed associations between the average proportion of women who received each pregnancy care measure across all cycles and average overall or subscale SAT scores
