  1. †*Statistically significant at p < 0.05.
  2. †Odds ratio represents association with birth certificate ownership; Adjusted for Education of caregiver, Province, Payment Method for Health and Child’s Age.
  3. ‡Skilled Birth Attendant (SBA) is defined as a Physician, Trained Midwife or Nurse. This demonstrates the odds of receiving a birth certificate if an SBA is present at the birth. This is compared to being attended to by a Traditional Birth Attendant (dukun) or being alone.
  4. NB: Each row represents a separate multivariable model, adjusted for Education of caregiver, Province, Payment Method for Health and Child’s Age.
