Abstract

This study aimed to explore the association of international remittance with satisfaction and utilization of maternal health services in Nepal. This is a secondary analysis based on two prospective cohort studies. Regression analyses were carried out to assess the association. Women from remittance-receiving households had 1.27 higher odds of receiving timely initiation of first ANC visit (aOR = 1.27; 95% CI: 1.19, 1.35). The association between remittance-receiving household income and overall satisfaction with maternal health services (aOR = 0.97; 95% CI: 0.91, 1.02) and receiving four or more ANC visits (aOR = 0.92; 95% CI: 0.85, 1.00) was not significant.

期刊介绍： The Journal aims to publish the best research on international development issues in a form that is accessible to practitioners and policy-makers as well as to an academic audience. The main focus is on the social sciences - economics, politics, international relations, sociology and anthropology, as well as development studies - but we also welcome articles that blend the natural and social sciences in addressing the challenges for development. The Journal does not represent any particular school, analytical technique or methodological approach, but aims to publish high quality contributions to ideas, frameworks, policy and practice, including in transitional countries and underdeveloped areas of the Global North as well as the Global South.
