ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is focused on improving the health behaviors of pregnant women in Ethiopia. Specifically, it aims to encourage more women to deliver their babies in health facilities, attend regular check-ups during pregnancy, and take important vitamins like iron and folic acid. The researchers will create and test new strategies to make these health services more appealing and accessible. This project will take place over three years and will involve gathering feedback from the women involved to ensure the solutions meet their needs.

To participate in this study, women must be pregnant and at least 15 years old, but not older than 49 years, and they should be at least five months pregnant. The trial is looking for women who may face challenges accessing healthcare. If eligible, participants can expect to be involved in practical activities that aim to improve their healthcare experiences. The study is currently recruiting participants, so there is an opportunity for those interested to contribute to vital research that could help many pregnant women in the future.
