Concerning maternal age, most of the mothers reported giving their
latest birth when they were 25 to 29 years old. Regarding parity, every
three in five women had given birth before their latest delivery but had
no previous CS delivery. As for complication, almost nine in ten women
reported having no complication during their pregnancy. In regards to
PNC, every three in five women had, at least, eight PNC visits during
their latest pregnancy. As for the place of delivery, the majority of
women reported giving birth in a public health facility or at home. The
average years of schooling for the mothers were 9.29 years while that of
the fathers was slightly higher at 9.38 years. Regarding health
insurance, almost two-thirds of the women reported having no insurance
cover at all and social security was the highest source of health
insurance. As for wealth index, the women are roughly equally
distributed in each quintile.
Regression Analyses
The final multivariate LRM consists of ten explanatory variables. The
model was statistically significant (\(F_{(25,1782)}=32.56\); p< 0.001). Table 2 presents the results of bivariate and
multivariate regressions. We exclude father’s schooling in the
multivariate logit model due to its high correlation mother’s schooling.
