Home\u2010 and health facility\u2010based newborn care practices are essential for reducing neonatal death. The aim of this study was to explore relationships between location of childbirth and essential newborn care practices in the Republic of Benin, West Africa.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>We used cross\u2010sectional data from the 2017 Benin Demographic and Health Survey. The study included 6831 women who had a recent live birth. We used multivariable logistic regression to examine associations between location of birth and early initiation of breastfeeding, breastfeeding support, and cord examination while adjusting for potential confounding factors.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>There was no significant difference in early initiation of breastfeeding by birth location. Compared to women with home births, those who gave birth in public hospitals, public health centers\/clinics, and private health facilities had significantly higher odds of receiving breastfeeding support (public hospitals: OR: 1.71, 95% CI: 1.23\u20102.59; public health centers\/clinics: OR: 2.06, 95% CI: 1.46\u20102.91; private clinics: OR: 1.97, 95% CI: 1.35\u20102.88). Compared with women who gave birth at home, those who gave birth in public health centers\/clinics and private health facilities were twice as likely to report newborn cord examination (OR: 1.99, 95% CI: 1.41\u20102.79; OR: 1.97, 95% CI: 1.36\u20102.83, respectively).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Despite the high prevalence of health facility births in Benin, the coverage of early newborn care is suboptimal, especially in public hospitals. Policies and public health interventions will be required, more so in public hospitals, to ensure that all mothers and newborns receive these potentially life\u2010saving services.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/birt.12596","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,30]],"date-time":"2021-09-30T07:28:05Z","timestamp":1632986885000},"page":"514-523","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Essential newborn care practices in Benin: Are there differences by birth location?"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"48","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4725-0448","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Comfort Z.","family":"Olorunsaiye","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health Arcadia University Glenside Pennsylvania USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Korede K.","family":"Yusuf","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Nursing and Public Health Adelphi University Garden City New York USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A\u2010Mac","family":"Harris","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health Arcadia University Glenside Pennsylvania USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Snehal","family":"Gaikwad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Nursing and Public Health Adelphi University Garden City New York USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_1","unstructured":"UNICEF.Country Profile\u2010 Benin;2018.https:\/\/data.unicef.org\/country\/ben.
