Objective:

To compare the coverage of continuous maternal healthcare and early childhood care in women with and without adolescent motherhood (AM) who live in under-100 000-inhabitants communities.

Materials and methods:

Cross-sectional analysis of Ensanut 100k 2018 of 767 women aged 12 to 49 years living in under-100 000-inhabitants communities who had their last birth two years before the survey.

Results:

Women with AM have lower continuous coverage of maternal care than those without AM (8.1 and 19.6%, respectively). Infant care coverage with adequate content was lower than 30%, and there were no differences between the groups.

Conclusions:

It is necessary to strengthen actions focused on this group of women in order to reduce the gaps in coverage and improve maternal and child health.
