Geographical disparities and determinants of adherence to iron folate supplementation among pregnant women in Ethiopia: spatial and multilevel analysis of the Ethiopian Mini Demographic and Health Survey of 2019.

In this study, 8 out of 10 pregnant women did not take iron and folate supplements during the recommended period. As a result, health education activities were necessary to raise awareness among women and the community about the importance of iron folate supplementation during pregnancy, and public health programmes should increase iron folate supplementation through women's education, ANC visits and mothers living in low-iron areas.
