Randomized trial identifies factors affecting postnatal care usage in women, suggesting actionable improvements.

The study aims to identify factors that influence the use of postnatal care among women in Kenya.
Data from the 2008-09 Kenya Demographic and Health Survey was analyzed.
Overall data from 3,970 women were included in the analysis.
47% of women received postnatal care services.
Factors associated with increased PNC use included mother's age at delivery, 4+ ANC visits, urban residence, and skilled delivery.
Low education and unskilled delivery were linked to decreased PNC service use (p < 0.05).

Akunga et al. (2014) studied this question.
