| description | Plain Language Summary One strategy to improve the utilization of health services by mothers and their children is the integration of maternal and child health services. For instance, a pregnant woman coming for an antenatal care visit would also receive counseling on post-partum family planning services and maternal nutrition. Similarly, a woman coming for her infant’s vaccines would be offered counseling on post-partum family planning, maternal nutrition and breastfeeding. Although several interventions have been implemented and tested, there is still limited evidence on the conditions and factors required for successful maternal and child health services integration strategies. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of an intervention integrating maternal and child health services, nutrition and family planning services. For the purpose of the evaluation, 2 distincts groups of health facilities will be selected in each country, one group of 3 or 4 health facilities where the intervention will be implemented, and another group of 3 or 4 health facilities with the general standard of care. The study participants are pregnant women (up to 28 weeks of gestational age), coming for their first antenatal care visit, who will be followed up to 6 months after childbirth.The analyzes will be carried out to assess the effect of the intervention on contraceptive use prevalence between the two groups of health facilities. This study will make it possible to better understand the timeline and the factors influencing women’s decision-making on the use of post-partum family planning services. |
