Variations in the two measures among several population sub-groups are analysed by performing logistic regression. Among women aged 15–44, 38.7% (CI: 37.8, 39.6)…

This paper examines the association of access to health services and women’s status with utilization of prenatal, delivery, and postnatal care during …
