The utilization of antenatal care among rural-to-urban migrant women in Shanghai:a hospital-based cross-sectional study

摘要

BackgroundImproving utilization of antenatal care is a critical strategy for achieving China’s Millennium Development Goal of decreasing the maternal mortality ratio (MMR). While overall utilization has increased recently in China, an urban vs. rural disparity in access remains. Here we aim to assess utilization of antenatal care in rural-to-urban migrant women and identify its risk and protective factors.
