Association between individual exposure to ASHA and number of services utilised, using a multinomial logistic regression model†
| Predicted probability (95% CI) | Marginal effects (95% CI) | ||
| ASHA exposure | No ASHA exposure | ASHA versus no ASHA | |
| No services | 0.03 (0.016 to 0.034) | 0.11 (0.099 to 0.127) | −0.088 (−0.102 to −0.074)** |
| Some services | 0.80 (0.776 to 0.826) | 0.68 (0.661 to 0.698) | 0.121 (0.091 to –0.151)** |
| All services | 0.17 (0.149 to 0.198) | 0.21 (0.190 to 0.224) | −0.033 (−0.062 to −0.005)* |
*Significant at 0.05; **significant at p<0.01.
†Model controls for the following confounding variables: maternal education, maternal age, caste, religion, parity, household wealth quintile, state and rurality.
