Proportion of deliveries with protective antepartum and intrapartum practices for mothers who delivered at home without skilled birth attendance, separated by whether there was a traditional birth attendant (TBA) present. Values in bold font show practices where there was at least a 10 percentage point difference between TBA and non-TBA deliveries (whether positive or negative). The data for intrapartum TBA deliveries in Makwanpur was too sparse to calculate cluster-adjusted results.
