Ethnic inequality in Guatemalan women's use of modern reproductive health care.

CONCLUSION: The large proportion of indigenous women who use institutional prenatal care suggests that further integrating the three services may increase their use of institutional delivery and modern contraceptives. Adding speakers of local Mayan languages to the staff of health facilities could also help increase use. PMID: 22832150 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]
