Group Antenatal Care: Effectiveness and Contextual Factors Linked to Implementation Success in Malawi

Brief summary (registry, in English)

In this study, we test the effectiveness of an evidence-based model of group antenatal care by comparing it to individual (usual) antenatal care (Aim 1) across 7 antenatal clinics in Blantyre District, Malawi. If results are negative, governments will avoid spending on ineffective care. Positive maternal, neonatal and HIV-related outcomes of group antenatal care will save lives, impact the cost and quality of antenatal care, and influence health policy as governments adopt this innovative model of care nationally.
