Abstract
Home delivery and late and infrequent attendance at antenatal care (ANC) are responsible
for substantial avoidable maternal and pediatric morbidity and mortality in sub-Saharan
Africa. This cluster-randomized trial aimed to determine the impact of a community health
worker (CHW) intervention on the proportion of women who (i) visit ANC fewer than 4 times
during their pregnancy and (ii) deliver at home.
