Description
Summary:Antenatal care has several benefits for expecting mothers and birth outcomes and this study attempts to investigate the prevalence and estimate the risk factors of antenatal care visits utilization in Bangladesh. In our study, using the data set BDHS 2014 we have fitted the Poisson Regression Model and Negative Binomial models. The most significant factors are respondent's residents (IRR = 0.845, CI: .778, .918), wealth index (IRR = 1.326, CI: 1.186, 1.482), respondent education (IRR = 1.753, CI: 1.461, 2.104) and media access (IRR = 1.235, CI: 1.125, 1.355) with a p-value P
