Two-level logistic regression was applied to identify predictors of skilled birth attendant (SBA) usage during delivery after accounting for cluster effects. Results showed that 53.2% of mothers were delivered by an SBA. Mothers' education and wealth index emerged as the most important contributory factors. The study acknowledges limitations including its cross-sectional design precluding causal inference and reliance on secondary data that could not capture other potential predictors of SBA usage. Findings suggest policy focus on education and wealth-related disparities to increase SBA usage toward national and SDG targets.
