Abstract
Extracting 5,194 women from the 1999-2000 Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey, this study assessed impact of various sources disseminating AIDS information on antenatal care (ANC) services. Multivariate adjusted logistic regression found that radio, television, newspapers/magazines, pamphlets/posters, health workers, and friends/relatives significantly associated with ANC services. Multiple sources showed even stronger association with the services. Therefore this study underscored the needs of disseminating AIDS information from multiple sources to improve the ANC services and to increase AIDS knowledge and prevention activities among pregnant women.
