Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To compare the coverage of continuous ma- ternal healthcare and early childhood care in women with and without adolescent motherhood (AM) who live in under-100 000-inhabitants communities. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Cross-sectional analysis of Ensanut 100k 2018 of 767 women aged 12 to 49 years living in under-100 000-in- habitants communities who had their last birth two years before the survey. RESULTS: Women with AM have lower continuous coverage of maternal care than those without AM (8.1 and 19.6%, respectively). Infant care coverage with adequate content was lower than 30%, and there were no differences between the groups. CONCLUSIONS: It is necessary to strengthen actions focused on this group of women in order to reduce the gaps in coverage and improve maternal and child health.
