There is an increase in trend of institutional delivery among young women during the 2000 to 2016 EDHS. Having higher educational levels, early ANC booking, and attending four or more ANC visits were positively associated with institutional delivery. Increased number of children is negatively associated with institutional delivery. Strengthening strategies for improving girls' education and addressing their socioeconomic and demographic vulnerabilities, and strengthening strategies being implemented for encouraging early and recommended ANC visits is crucial.
