Abstract: Access to adequate antenatal care (at least four antenatal visits, beginning in first four months of pregnancy) in Zambia in 2013 varied according to population density. We expect greater access to antenatal care in urban areas than in rural areas; surprisingly, women in dense urban areas (urban slums) were least likely to receive adequate antenatal care. Data come from the IPUMS-DHS database, with information on the frequency and timing of antenatal visits collected in Demographic and Health Surveys. We classified women according to the population density of the area where they lived, using a contextual variable on population density added to IPUMS-DHS (based on CIESIN’s 2016 Documentation for the Gridded Population of the World) and GPS data on subjects’ location.
