Abstract
⺠Discordant reports about who makes household decisions resulted in lower health care use compared to joint decision-making. ⺠Associations between decision-making arrangements and health service use were stronger for antenatal than delivery care. ⺠The associations increase in magnitude when using couples' reports compared to using husbands' or wives' reports alone. ⺠Interviewing both men and women provides valuable information available in concordant and discordant reports.
