“…Consistent with previous research, the likelihood of using any antenatal care and the repeated visits are both strongly influenced by the level of education of the pregnant woman and that of her husband [4] [5] [8] [14] [15]. A higher level of education would increase the woman's knowledge, awareness and effectiveness of antenatal services and the consequences.…”

However, the impact of the terminated pregnancy on receiving ANC increased over time. Conclusions: Further research of the determinants of antenatal health care utilization is needed, using more updated measures of women's empowerment, availability and quality of health services. In order to improve the provision of antenatal health care services, it is important to understand barriers to antenatal health care utilization. Therefore, it is advisable to collect information from women about the reasons for not receiving antenatal care.

“…For example, distance, particularly distances greater than 5-10 km, reduced the likelihood of facility delivery in Mali, Haiti, Vietnam, and Ghana in adjusted analysis [16,17,19,40]. There are several possible reasons for this difference.…”

“…This is even more evident in the context of developing countries, where only recently researchers have begun to employ multilevel models to account for area-level determinants in studies of health service utilization. [16][17][18][19] In this paper, we focused on individual and community perceptions of the health system as explanatory factors for the decision to deliver in a health facility in rural, western Tanzania. Specifically, we explored how predisposing factors such as the demographic profile, obstetric risk, and health beliefs of individual women and their communities are modified by perceptions of the quality of the health system in explaining variation in the use of health facilities.…”

Choices for delivery care are made based on the available resources and influence health outcomes of women and their children. The aim of the paper is to study utilization and preference for delivery care and related factors in one urban and one rural area of northern Vietnam. Two cohorts of pregnant women were carried out in DodaLab and FilaBavi Health and Demographic Surveillance Sites (HDSS) in Hanoi, Vietnam from April 2008 to December 2009. Together, 2515 pregnant women were identified and followed until delivery through quarterly household interviews using structured questionnaires. Almost all women delivered at health care facilities. Most of the rural women gave birth at primary health care facilities (88.5%) while urban women primarily used secondary and tertiary hospitals (93.6%). Caesarean section (CS) was used for 38.5% of births in the urban area and 12.4% in the rural. Giving birth in hospitals and CS were more common among highly educated women, employed women, women living in households or communities with good economic conditions, and women expected to give birth to a son. Technology preference in delivery care was associated with better socioeconomic conditions and expecting a boy. Improving the quality and reputation of primary health care facilities, informing women about CS risks and monitoring indications of CS are important policy issues.
