调查了印度尼西亚妇女相对于其丈夫的权力，以确定它如何影响产前和分娩护理的使用。在保持家庭资源不变的情况下，女性对经济资源的控制会影响夫妇的决策。与她认为自己没有资产的女性相比，拥有一定份额家庭资产的女性会影响生殖健康决策。有证据表明，如果一个女人受过比丈夫更好的教育，来自于比她丈夫更高的社会地位，或者如果她的父亲比她的岳父受过更好的教育，那么她对服务使用的影响也各不相同。因此，配偶之间权力分配的经济和社会维度都会影响服务的使用，而将权力概念化为多维有助于理解夫妇的行为。
Indonesian women's power relative to that of their husbands is examined to determine how it affects use of prenatal and delivery care. Holding household resources constant, a woman's control over economic resources affects the couple's decisionmaking. Compared with a woman with no assets that she perceives as being her own, a woman with some share of household assets influences reproductive health decisions. Evidence suggests that her influence on service use also varies ifa woman is better educated than her husband, comes from a background of higher social status than her husband's, or if her father is better educated than her father-in-law. Therefore, both economic and social dimensions of the distribution of power between spouses influence use of services, and conceptualizing power as multidimensional is useful for understanding couples' behavior.
