Inclusion and exclusion criteria
death, abortion
Only postpartum women who had been residents for 12 months of the study and had participated in the intervention from 3 to 12 months in the study area were interviewed. Women who resided in the study subdistricts and had received the intervention throughout the period but might have received ANC, skilled delivery, and PNC services in a different health facility or elsewhere throughout their pregnancy were included in the end-line assessment. Moreover, the end-line evaluation included women who had received the intervention right from the first trimester to the third. Women who voluntarily agreed to participate in the study and signed or thumb-printed written consent were included. However, postpartum women who had not benefited from the intervention during the twelve months were excluded from the end-line survey/assessment. Postpartum mothers whose delivery outcome was either abortion, stillbirth, or death and seriously ill postpartum mothers were exempted from the end-line assessment, this is based on the premise that those mothers might be in emotional distress to answer the questionnaire.
