ABSTRACT
Background: Improving maternal health is one of the goals to be achieved under the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) number 3. Worldwide, half a million women die each year from pregnancy and childbirth-related complications which can be prevented by skilled birth assistance. One of the determinants of maternal health is the place of childbirth. Giving birth at home leads to a high risk of maternal and child mortality. The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence and factors associated with the choice of home childbirth in Dodoma Municipality. Methods: A community-based cross-section study using multistage sampling was used to obtain the sample in which 2,523 women who gave birth within 3 years prior to the date of the study from different wards of Dodoma municipal were interviewed. The data obtained were entered and analysed using SPSS version 20. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to establish predictors of home childbirth with unskilled birth assistance. Results: A total of 1,174 (46.5%) women had home childbirth with unskilled birth assistance. After adjusted for the confounders, predictors of home childbirth with unskilled birth assistance among study respondents were level of education [primary education, AOR=0.69 at 95% CI=0.557-0.854,p
