  1. Dual method use refers to the use of condoms (male or female) concurrently with another method of contraception
  2. aThe estimation method was backward-selection multivariable logistic model (cluster standard error) with removal probability being ≥ 0.2
  3. bNo man aged 15–24 years used highly effective modern method
  4. cUsed as reference for men because 15–24 age category had no man using dual methods, making the age category highly unstable for referent
  5. * P-value < 0.01
