  1. aData from A&T IYCF support group assessment survey in 2014. Values are adjusted odds ratios (OR) and 95% CIs, using survey commands to account for clustering. Significantly different from the null value (OR = 1; two-sided t tests): * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001. bModel also controlled the mode of birth and breastfeeding counseling during pregnancy and at birth)
