Extent of male involvement and associated factors in antenatal care service utilization in Bench Sheko zone, Southwest Ethiopia: A community-based cross-sectional study

Abstract

Male involvement in ANC utilization was low. Considering the importance of male involvement in maternal healthcare, we advocate for policies and strategies that can improve knowledge of the advantages of ANC among men and can enhance their engagement in maternal care. Special attention should be given to younger partners and those partners who live in rural areas.
