It follows the progression from the national sample to the final analytic cohort, emphasizing exclusion criteria and the reason for selecting a viable study group centered on ANC usage.
Fig 2.
Conceptual diagram of predictors associated with outcome variables. Shows the basic structure that supports this study, illustrating the expected associations between factors related to mothers, households, and their communities, and the two outcomes of ANC: early initiation and having the optimal number of ANC contacts.
This structure guided variable selection and the multivariate modeling method.
