Abstract

The presentation reviews the study aims and methodology. Both demand and supply factors must be addressed if women are to use primary health care (PHC) for maternal and child health (MCH) services in Nigeria, where 750,000 children under the age of 5 die each year. The project aims to explore the socio-economic and cultural factors of use or non-use of PHC services in two selected rural areas in Edo State, Nigeria; and to implement a series of multi-facetted interventions for improving demand and use of PHC services.
