Adjusted Odds Ratios for Current Contraceptive Use Among Young Married Women Aged 15–24 (Phase I and II) and Aged 15–34 (Phase III) in PRACHAR Intervention Models
Reference groups are comparison areas where PRACHAR was not implemented.
Adjusted odds ratios are from multivariate logistic regressions comparing baseline-endline changes in intervention and comparison areas for each PRACHAR model. These adjusted odds ratios are from different studies/designs so direct comparison should be taken with limitations.

Adjusted Odds Ratios for Current Contraceptive Use Among Married Women Aged 15-34 in Areas Where PRACHAR Phase I, Phase II, or Phases I + II Were Implemented 4-8 Years Earlier
Reference group is women in comparison areas where PRACHAR was not implemented.
Adjusted odds ratios are from multivariate logistic regressions comparing baseline-endline changes in intervention and comparison areas. Odds ratios are adjusted for age, education, caste, and wealth quintile.
