IntroductionImplementation of community-based healthcare services offering effective contraception, antenatal care (ANC), and treatment for symptomatic children under five has reduced maternal and child mortality in Togo. However, understanding if women are utilizing these services differentially based on social or demographic factors is important. This study identifies whether sexual relationship and socio-demographic factors are associated with healthcare utilization in four health facility catchment areas.MethodsWe conducted a cross-sectional household survey of women aged 15–49 in four health facility catchment areas in 2016 (three rural sites, one urban site). We used multivariable Poisson regression to test whether socio-demographic factors and a validated sexual relationship power scale were associated with contraceptive use, ANC visits, and seeking treatment for symptomatic children under five.ResultsAmong women not pregnant or desiring pregnancy, older age, lower education, and single relationship status were associated with lower use of effective contraception. Among women who gave birth in two years preceding survey, low relationship power and low wealth quintile were associated with being less likely to attend at least four ANC visits. Women in rural sites were slightly more likely than women in the urban site to report seeking treatment for child under five with malaria, pneumonia, and/or diarrhea symptoms in last 2 weeks.DiscussionInterventions in low-resource settings should explore ways to reach women with low health-service utilization to improve contraceptive use, ANC visits, and treatment for sick children. Furthermore, age, education, marital status, wealth status and sexual relationship power must be considered when targeting maternal health behaviors.Trial RegistrationClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03773913; Date of registration: 12 Dec. 2018
