Antenatal care and women’s birthing decisions in an Indonesian setting: does location matter?

---

Introduction: Poor maternal health outcome, still a major health problem in developing countries, is influenced by both women’s
personal characteristics and the characteristics of the place where they live. Identifying the spatial distribution and clusters of poor
maternal health outcomes can assist in developing geographically specific interventions. This article examines the influence of urban
and rural settings on antenatal care and birthing decisions in South Sulawesi, a province in Indonesia, and investigates the existence
of geographical clusters of women’s decision regarding antenatal care and birth assistance.
Methods: Data were derived from a survey of 485 women who recently gave birth. Household coordinates, midwives’ location
and hospital location were recorded using a handheld global positioning system (GPS). Logistic regression was used to examine the
influence of place of residence on antenatal care and women’s birthing decisions. SaTScan software was used to identify the location
of geographical clusters. ArcGIS v9.3 was used to visualize and interpret the distribution of facilities and clusters.
Results: Area of residence determines the likelihood of a woman presenting for antenatal care – care
