Chapter 2 - Related Studies

 

RELATED STUDIES

Economic stability has also been identified as important in influencing maternal health care service utilization behavior of women. For example, a study in more than 50 countries showed that on average more than 80% of births were attended for the richest women compared with only 34% of the poorest women (Gill, Pande and Malhotra 2007). In Ethiopia, Dagne (2010) also found on her study a statistically significant association between household wealth and assistance during delivery with women in the rich and richest wealth groups more likely to have professional assistance during birth ( Dagna,2010).

Therefore we expect women with more children to have lower levels of use of maternal health care services because of the constraints of time and money. Also, greater use of maternal health care services for first births may be attributed to higher risk of complications (Majokoet al.2004).
