Men and maternal health care utilization in India and in selected less-developed states
Male involvement in maternal health care utilization is an important contributor to maternal health, especially in male-dominated societies. This study aimed to understand the variations and determinants of women’s antenatal care (ANC) utilization and institutional delivery in India and three socioeconomically less-developed states (Bihar, Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh) using NFHS-4 data (2015–16). Husband’s knowledge of pregnancy care and del…
Concordance in spousal reports of current contraceptive use in India
Couple-level reports of contraceptive use are important as wives and husbands may report their use differently. Using matched couple data ( N = 63,060) from India’s NFHS-4 (2015–16), this study examined concordance in spousal reports of current contraceptive use and its differentials. Reporting of contraceptive use was higher among wives (59.0%) than husbands (25.2%). Concordance was low; 16.5% of couples reported the current use of the same meth…
