ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how to effectively provide multiple micronutrient supplements (MMS) to pregnant women in Indonesia. The goal is to see if these supplements can improve the nutrition of mothers and the health of their babies. Researchers will look at different ways to deliver these supplements and how to encourage pregnant women to take them regularly. They want to understand how well the program works and how it can fit into existing healthcare services for expectant mothers.

To participate in this study, pregnant women must be enrolled in antenatal care through government health facilities and receive MMS before 20 weeks of pregnancy. They should also be willing to consent to the study. Women who have serious pregnancy complications or plan to move away during the study will not be eligible. Participants can expect to receive guidance on taking the supplements and may be asked to share their experiences in interviews. This research is important because it aims to ensure that more mothers and their babies can benefit from better nutrition during pregnancy.
