Decomposing socioeconomic inequality in skilled birth attendant utilization in Ethiopia: A secondary data analysis

We found a strong pro-rich socioeconomic related health inequality in the utilization of SBA in Ethiopia. Therefore, the government and responsible stakeholders need to implement targeted interventions such as improving health literacy, improving the coverage of antenatal care four visits, promoting the utilization of maternal waiting homes, and establishing financial support mechanisms for economically disadvantaged women to reduce the observed socioeconomic related health inequality in utilizing SBA.

Abstract

We found a strong pro-rich socioeconomic related health inequality in the utilization of SBA in Ethiopia. Therefore, the government and responsible stakeholders need to implement targeted interventions such as improving health literacy, improving the coverage of antenatal care four visits, promoting the utilization of maternal waiting homes, and establishing financial support mechanisms for economically disadvantaged women to reduce the observed socioeconomic related health inequality in utilizing SBA.
