Correlates of maternal health services utilization among adolescent mothers in Ghana: analysis of Ghana maternal health survey 2017
This study has demonstrated that adolescent utilization of ANC visits, health facility delivery and skilled delivery were satisfactory. However, ANC initiation and optimal utilization of the recommended maternal health services were unsatisfactory. Utilization of the maternal health services was determined by predisposing factors such as age and parity as well as enabling factors including health insurance coverage, permission for treatment and wealth index.
