Determinants of quality antenatal care use in Kenya: Insights from the 2022 Kenya Demographic and Health Survey.

ABSTRACT: Provision of quality antenatal care (ANC) is important to reduce maternal and newborn fatalities worldwide. However, the use of quality ANC by women of reproductive age and associated factors remain unclear in many developing countries. Therefore, this study aimed to determine factors associated with receiving quality ANC in Kenya among women of reproductive age. We analyzed secondary data from the 2022 Kenya Demographic Health Survey, which included 11,863 women. Participants were selected using two-stage stratified sampling. Univariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses were used to analyze the data. Of the 11,863 participating women, 61.2% (95% confidence interval (CI): 59.7%-62.6%) received quality ANC. Participants aged 20-34 years had a 1.82 (95%CI: 1.15-2.87) times highe
