Abstract:
Women’s decision-making autonomy is very crucial for the improvement of women empowerment, and maternal, neonatal, and child healthcare utilization. As time immemorial, Ethiopian culture is largely gender stratified, and the position of women is subordinate to men in
various household and health-seeking decision-making matters. However, there is a dearth
of empirical evidence on women’s decision-making autonomy, especially in the household
and on maternal and newborn healthcare utilization. Therefore, this study assessed married
women’s decision-making autonomy in the household and on maternal and neonatal healthcare utilization and associated factors in Debretabor, Northwest Ethiopia
