A total of 9523 women aged 15\u201349 with children under two years were included. Folic acid supplementation was assessed through self\u2010reported responses to survey questions.

Lower folic acid supplementation was most notable among women who received no or inadequate antenatal care, indigenous women, and those living in socioeconomically disadvantaged communities. Women without antenatal care had 97% lower odds of folic acid supplementation compared with those with adequate care (OR\u2009=\u20090.03, 95% CI: 0.02\u20130.04, and\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt; 0.001), while intermediate care was associated with 41% lower odds (OR\u2009=\u20090.59, 95% CI: 0.47\u20130.74, and\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt; 0.001).
