Addressing Socio-cultural Barriers to Maternal Healthcare in Ghana: Perspectives of Women and Healthcare Providers
Abstract
Addressing Socio-cultural Barriers to Maternal Healthcare in Ghana: Perspectives of Women and Healthcare Providers One of the main challenges to achieving the maternal health-related Millennium Development Goals in sub-Saharan African countries is poor access to skilled maternal healthcare services. In Ghana, maternal mortality accounts for 14% of all female deaths, and only 55% of births are attended by skilled birth attendants. Many previous studies that examine norms of childbirth and care-seeking behaviours have therefore focused on identifying the norms of non-use of services rather than factors that can promote service use.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
