Factors associated with health decision-making autonomy on own healthcare among Tanzanian women: A 2022–2023 demographic health survey study

The findings can serve as a basis for exploratory qualitative research to further understand the process of health decision-making autonomy among Tanzanian women. Stakeholders can create focused interventions to improve women's health decision autonomy, emphasizing education and initiatives that generate income, especially in rural regions. Policymakers are encouraged to continue creating policies that promote women's education and economic empowerment, as these factors are linked to increased autonomy in healthcare decisions.

Abstract

The findings can serve as a basis for exploratory qualitative research to further understand the process of health decision-making autonomy among Tanzanian women. Stakeholders can create focused interventions to improve women's health decision autonomy, emphasizing education and initiatives that generate income, especially in rural regions. Policymakers are encouraged to continue creating policies that promote women's education and economic empowerment, as these factors are linked to increased autonomy in healthcare decisions.
