Data were collected through self-administered questionnaires, however for the illiterate, researcher assisted completion of the instrument. Data analysis was conducted in stages included univariate, bivariate (chi-squared test) and multivariate (logistic regression) analysis.
Results: The results of bivariate analysis indicated there was significant association between knowledge (p=0.002), attitude (p=0.012), behavior (p=0.030), and family support (p=0.015) with the ANC in pregnant women. Multivariate analysis indicated that there was an association between maternal knowledge and ANC visit frequency.
