Antenatal care quality by ethnicity and socioeconomic deprivation status in Latin America and the Caribbean. This equiplot demonstrates that, in general, women who are more socioeconomically deprived tend to receive lower quality antenatal care (ANC) compared to less deprived women. When socioeconomic deprivation is combined with ethnic disadvantage, it further contributes to a decrease in the quality of ANC. The equiplot underscores the significance of employing intersectionality-informed analytic approaches, as these approaches recognise that the overlapping oppressions of ethnicity and socioeconomic deprivation cannot be simply addressed by combining multiple one-dimensional measures of deprivation. Reference population are women who were not identified in the Indigenous or Afro-descendant groups.
