  1. (i) Categorization:
  2. i. Cluster educational levels: urban – low (9.0–10.5 years), middle (10.6–11.0 years), high (11.1–11.3 years); rural – low (4.0–5.3 years), middle (5.4–6.5 years), high (6.6–9.5 years)
  3. ii. Cluster employment: urban – high (30–36%), middle (37–40%), low (41–46%); rural – high (36–46%), middle (47.61%), low (62–77%)
  4. iii. Individual level education: urban – low (grade 0 – 7), middle (grade 8 – 11), high (grade 12 and above); rural – low (grade 0 – 4), middle (grade 5 – 7) & high (grade 8 and above)
  5. (2) AOR = age-adjusted odd ratios (3) Significant results are in bold (p < 0.05) (5) '0 partner' is equal to the number young women who have not had sexual intercourse
  6. a AOR could not be computed because the prevalence for one of the elements was zero
  7. b For all women in the rural area, we used "≥ 3 partners" as the reference since the prevalence among those with "0 partners" was zero
