The primary objectives of this research study in rural communities of Geita district, Northwest Tanzania were: 1) to conduct a population-based study that examined the utilization and availability of ANC services; and 2) to explore the challenges faced by women who visited ANC clinics and barriers to utilization of ANC among pregnant women. Methods A sequential explanatory mixed method design was utilized. Household surveys that examined antenatal service utilization and availability were conducted in 11 randomly selected wards in Geita district. One thousand, seven hundred and nineteen pregnant women in their 3rd trimester participated in household surveys. It was followed by focus group discussions with community health workers and pregnant women that examined challenges and barriers to ANC. Results Of the pregnant women who participated, 86.74% attended an ANC clinic at least once; 3.62% initiated ANC in the first trimester; 13.26% had not initiated ANC when they were interviewed in their 3rd trimester. Of the women who had attended ANC at least once, the majority (82.96%) had been checked for HIV status, less than a half (48.36%) were checked for hemoglobin level, and only a minority had been screened for syphilis (6.51%). Among women offered laboratory testing, the prevalence of HIV was 3.88%, syphilis, 18.57%, and anemia, 54.09%. In terms of other preventive measures, 91.01% received a tetanus toxoid vaccination, 76.32%, antimalarial drugs, 65.13%, antihelminthic drugs, and 76.12%, iron supplements at least once. Significant challenges identified by women who visited ANC clinics included lack of male partner involvement, informal regulations imposed by health care providers, perceived poor quality of care, and health care system related factors. Socio-cultural beliefs, fear of HIV testing, poverty and distance from health clinics were reported as barriers to early ANC utilization. Conclusion Access to effective ANC remains a challenge among women in Geita district. Notably, most women initiated ANC late and early initiation did not guarantee care that could contribute to better pregnancy outcomes.Item Open Access Neurodevelopmental and Visual Outcomes of Preterm Infants with Retinopathy of Prematurity(2010) Al-Hindi, Mohammed Yasir Abdulrahman; Sauve, Reginald S.Item Open Access Parenting stress, well-being, and resiliency among mothers of multiple births in urban Alberta(2007) Kostaras, Xanthoula; Adair, Carol Elaine; Sauve, Reginald S.Item Embargo Personal and institutional factors affecting the prevelance and duration of breastfeeding(1991) Turner, Donna Ranneris; Sauve, Reginald S.Item Open Access Prediabetes and perinatal mortality: perinatal mortality and stillbirth in pregnancies before the onset of diabetes in women with adult onset diabetes(1999) Wood, Stephen L.; Sauve, Reginald S.Item Open Access Prevalence and determinants of myocardial dysfunction associated with severe traumatic brain injury in pediatrics(2005) Lim, Audrey; Sauve, Reginald S.Item Open Access Rehospitalization and use of medical services by very low birth weight infants: factors in the first year of life that modify risk(1991) Morrison, Diane Joan; Sauve, Reginald S.
