An examination is presented of the factors affecting the choice of maternal and child health services in a rural area of Saudi Arabia. The results of a survey of 329 women in Al-Oyaynah village, north west of Riyadh city are analysed to determine the maternal factors associated with this choice. The variables examined include age, duration of marriage, education, occupation, income, parity and husband's education. Findings suggest that distance from health service, education of the mother and her age were the strongest determinants of the choice of maternal child health service used.
