^aOdds ratio (OR) with confidence intervals estimated using logistic regression. Reference category is vendors without medical training
^bOdds ratio (OR) with confidence intervals estimated using logistic regression. Reference category is vendors who started operating more than 5 years before the study. Model 1 examines the association between medical training of vendor and registration, stocking and source of FP products while controlling for state, location (urban/rural), number of staff, number of FP clients, and length of time business started. Model 2 examines the association between length of time business started and registration, stocking and source of FP products while controlling for state, location (urban/rural), number of staff, number of FP clients, and medical training of vendor
