It assessed the socio- economic, demographic and accessibility factors with help of binary logistic regression and health services utilization model. The univairate analyses were used to see the percentage share of background variables. The finding indicated that 61.5 percent of the mothers do not utilize child health services. The finding of bivariate analysis using chi-square test showed the existence of association between 11 explanatory variables and child health services utilization.
