The study investigated individual and household factors associated with non-use of mate services in Botswana. Nationally-representative data, drawn from the 1996 Botswana Fam Survey, were used. A weighted sample of 19,031 women, aged 15-49 years, who had at pregnancy history in the five years prior to the survey was considered for analysis. B cross-tabulations and logistic regression were used for analyzing the data. Consistently, th were less likely to seek prenatal care, to have their babies delivered by a qualified person, postnatal check-up. Using results from logistic regression analysis, it can be observed that women were less likely to use maternal services. Another consistent finding is that wome educational level, those residing in rural areas, and those with low socioeconomic statu likely to use maternal services. More focussed investigation is needed, but underst differentials of the use of maternal services allows policy-makers to identify problem area attention.
