The mean ideal age at first childbirth was 30.3 years at pretest (median = 30 years; interquartile range, 29 to 32; range, 21 to 40).

At posttest, the average ideal age was lower in the ARF group than in the control group, with a crude between-group difference of 0.28 years (P = 0.155) and an adjusted difference of 0.25 years (P = 0.013) (after adjusting for pretest measures of the outcome variable and gender) (
