In this article, we examined the decision\u2010making around birthplace and explored the reported reasons of preferring home birth over facility birth in a rural district of Bangladesh.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>A cross\u2010sectional household survey with 1367 women was conducted in Brahmanbaria district. Choice of birthplace and actual place of birth were the main outcomes of interest. Associations between the outcomes of interest and background characteristics were analyzed through binary logistic regression. Effects of the covariates and confounders were adjusted through multiple logistic regression.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Sixty\u2010four percent of women planned to give birth at home, and 62% gave birth at home. Planning to give birth at home was significantly associated with eventually giving birth at home (AOR [CI]: 4.93 [3.79\u20106.43]). Multiparous women and women from larger households were significantly more likely to give birth at home, whereas more educated and wealthier women and those attending antenatal care were significantly less likely to give birth at home. The main reported reasons for home birth were perceived lack of importance of facility birth, financial reasons, fear of cesarean section, and not being permitted by a husband of other family member to seek facility birth.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Home is the preferred birthplace and main actual place of birth in rural Bangladesh. The maternal health program of Bangladesh should look critically at the preferences of women and reasons for those preferences for further promotion of skilled attendance at birth in rural settings.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/birt.12404","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,10,31]],"date-time":"2018-10-31T12:56:27Z","timestamp":1540990587000},"page":"362-370","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Opting for home birth in rural Bangladesh: An assessment of the current status and reasons"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"46","author":[{"given":"Janet E.","family":"Perkins","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Edinburgh Edinburgh UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9216-1079","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ahmed Ehsanur","family":"Rahman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Edinburgh Edinburgh UK"},{"name":"Maternal and Child Health Division International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, Bangladesh (ICDDR,B) Dhaka Bangladesh"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Abu Bakkar","family":"Siddique","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Maternal and Child Health Division International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, Bangladesh (ICDDR,B) Dhaka Bangladesh"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0690-8242","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mohammad Rifat","family":"Haider","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of South Carolina Columbia South Carolina"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Goutom","family":"Banik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Maternal and Child Health Division International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, Bangladesh (ICDDR,B) Dhaka Bangladesh"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tazeen","family":"Tahsina","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Maternal and Child Health Division International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, Bangladesh (ICDDR,B) Dhaka Bangladesh"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shams El","family":"Arifeen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Maternal and Child Health Division International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, Bangladesh (ICDDR,B) Dhaka Bangladesh"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,10,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","volume-title":"2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development","author":"United Nations","year":"2015"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(06)69381-1"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_1","volume-title":"Strategies Toward Ending Preventable Maternal Mortality (EPMM)","author":"World Health Organization","year":"2015"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_1","volume-title":"Joint UNICEF\/WHO Database 2018 of Skilled Health Personnel, Based on Population Based National Household Survey Data and Routine Health Systems Data","author":"UNICEF WHO","year":"2018"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_1","unstructured":"National Institute of Population Research and Training (NIPORT) International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research B MEASURE Evaluation.Bangladesh Maternal Mortality and Health Care Survey (BMMS) 2016: Preliminary Report.Dhaka Bangladesh and Chapel Hill NC:National Institute of Population Research and Training (NIPORT) International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research B MEASURE Evaluation;2017."},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12884-016-1111-9"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/2050312117753631"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0020-7292(98)00183-0"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.socscimed.2015.11.018"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0968-8080(09)33446-1"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_12_1","unstructured":"2017 Ministry of Health and Family Welfare Dhaka Bangladesh Government of Bangladesh Ministry of Health and Family Welfare Maternal Health Strategy of Bangladesh"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12884-015-0604-2"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.0730-7659.2005.00333.x"},{"issue":"4","key":"e_1_2_6_15_1","first-page":"362","article-title":"Why women choose home birth","volume":"4","author":"Andrino M","year":"2016","journal-title":"Asia Pacific J Multidiscip Res"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_16_1","unstructured":"UNICEF.Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS):MICS 6 Tool.
