Summary
The significance of maternal health literacy as a concern cannot be overstated because pregnancy for some women, may be the initial encounter with the health system especially in low-income populations. Over the past 30 years the Moroccan government has made enormous strides towards improving maternal health care for Moroccan women. This study seeks to understand the experience of women giving birth in rural Morocco, and to identify some of the barriers those women face when accessing maternity care at a health facility. According to the world health organization, access to immediate postnatal care service within the first three days after delivery reduces maternal and neonatal mortality significantly. Adolescent girls and young women who are victims of such intimate partner violence may experience great psychological and emotional distress. The objective of this study is to examine the relationship between intimate partner violence (IPV) and symptoms of depression in a cohort of sexually active adolescent girls and women, aged 15-24 years
