  1. Note: Each cell in the unadjusted models column is a separate model. The Adjusted model column adjusted for network and community norms measures that are significantly associated with facility birth. The models controlled for age, education, employment, household wealth, parity, marital status, religion ethnicity, region, and who usually make decision about your healthcare. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; p < 0.001
