Objectives: This cross-sectional study investigated the association between the utilization of 8 antenatal care (ANC) visits and delivery in a healthcare institution in the Philippines, using data from the 2022 National Demographic and Health Survey.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how environmental factors like nutrients, water salinity, and predators affect freshwater snail populations in the Napu Valley, Indonesia, an area prone to Schistosomiasis.
- It measured eight environmental factors across three habitats (seepage, ditch, pond) and found significant variation in snail density, with the highest density in the seepage habitat.
- The analysis revealed a strong positive correlation between snail presence and water salinity in the ditch habitat, indicating that both abiotic and biotic factors impact snail populations.
