Making the Most of Maternal Health: This study looked at why many Indonesian mothers aren't using available healthcare services during pregnancy and childbirth. We used a big survey to find out what factors affect their choices. We discovered that things like age, money, education, where they live, and their husband's job all play a role. By understanding these things better, we can make sure moms get the care they need.
