Timely and appropriate ANC can reduce complications from pregnancy and childbirth. Social capital\u2014the collective benefit for an individual when part of a larger society\u2014has the potential to improve the uptake of ANC services.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objective:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To assess social capital and its association with ANC utilization in a peri-urban area in south India.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methodology:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A cross-sectional study was conducted in two sub-center areas of Anekal Taluk in Bangalore Urban District, south India. A total of 350 women were interviewed on socio-demography, obstetric history, ANC utilization, and social capital. A composite index for quality ANC was constructed from various ANC services and social capital was measured using a validated 13-item instrument. Bivariate associations with socio-demographic variables, obstetric factors, and social capital were assessed. Logistic regression models were used to determine the association between quality ANC and social capital after controlling for covariates.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Mean age was 24.19 \u00b1 3.56 years and mean education was 9.03 \u00b1 4.98 years. Of all the women, 85% were homemakers and 70% belonged to the lower and middle classes. Quality ANC was achieved by 42.8% of the women. Being from Handenahalli subcentre (OR: 2.21; 95% CI: 1.36\u20133.60), completing secondary (OR: 4.56; 95% CI: 1.86\u201311.17) or higher education (OR: 5.95; 95% CI: 2.28\u201315.51), being gainfully employed (OR: 2.18; 95% CI: 1.06\u20134.48), belonging to middle class (OR: 2.37; 95% CI: 1.24\u20134.53), and feeling like one belongs to the village (OR: 8.33; 95% CI: 1.73\u201340.11.53) were significant predictors of achieving quality ANC.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Even though individual services of the ANC were achieved by more than 80% of women, quality ANC was accomplished by less than half. Apart from factors like education, occupation, and geographic area; social capital factors, like social cohesion, proved to be a strong predictor of quality ANC. Social capital should be leveraged to empower society to further strengthen access to quality ANC services.<\/jats:p>\n
