All data are weighted.

The index accounts for the number of domains of advice received across five domains: birth preparedness for institutional delivery, birth preparedness for home delivery (whether planned or unplanned), recognition and care seeking for maternal complications, essential newborn care practices and postpartum family planning. The index ranges between 0 and 5.

*Early initiation of breast feeding refers to initiation within the first hour after birth and is only measured among women who had a vaginal delivery.

†The quality index was estimated among mothers of infants aged 0–2 months old who received one or more FHW visits during pregnancy.
