| Abstract: |
Existing studies have associated a number of issues with high-parity pregnancies. However, the extent to which household wealth and decision-making are associated with high-parity pregnancies has not been explored, hence this study. I analyzed data from a weighted sample of 11,889 women extracted from the 2018 Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey (NDHS). A mixed-effects logistic regression was applied. Across the fitted models, the odds of high-parity pregnancies reduced consistently as household wealth improved, and women who do not participate in household decision-making consistently had greater odds of high-parity pregnancies. |
