Preposition home delivery increase, this study has been done for the purpose of study of mothers views who are under Kerman Medical Sciences University for causes detecting of delivery at home. Methods: This study was a descriptive-analytical one that was performed cross-sectionally on 503 mothers who are under comprehensive health service centers of Kerman University of Medical Sciences who were included in the study using convenience sampling method. The data were collected using a researcher-made questionnaire and were analyzed by descriptive statistics as well as logistic regression in SPSS software Results: The most causes of home delivery were the high cost of delivery at hospitals (71.4%) and family’s decision (33.4%).  Unfavorable weather conditions (0.6%) had the least important role in home birth. The highest number of home births was related to non-Iranian population (98.4%). Based on the goodness of fit of logistic regression model, only the number of pregnancies and number of stillbirths had a significant effect on home birth. Conclusion: Since the high cost of delivery at hospital is the major reason preventing non-Iranian women from referring to the hospital, it is necessary to adopt new policies for admission of non-Iranian women in public hospitals and provide insurance to them so that they would be encouraged to have delivery at hospital.   Key­words: Home Birth, Effective factors, Women, Comprehensive Health Service Centers, Health Centers   ­Citation: Tabasinezhad N, Safizadeh M, Hassanzadeh M, Salari S, Saber Mahani M, Damadi B.
