Maternity waiting homes (MWHs) were identified as a solution to improve pregnancy outcomes by bringing women living in geographically isolated areas closer to a healthcare facility. Literature shows that MWHs contribute significantly to the reduction of maternal death and stillbirth among users. Despite its importance in improving maternal & neonatal health outcomes, the utilization of MWHs is very low in Ethiopia. It is important to investigate what strategies could be effective in improving MWH utilization. Therefore, in this study cluster-randomized controlled trials will be conducted to evaluate the effect of male partner involvement intervention on MWH utilization in Ethiopia.

Primary | Utilization of MWH | Utilization of MWH is the use of MWHs by pregnant women in their final weeks of pregnancy to bridge the geographic gap in obstetric care. It is the proportion of pregnant women who use MWHs in the final weeks of pregnancy among the eligible women who are study participants. | up to six months | |
Secondary | Level of Maternal Knowledge and Attitude | Knowledge will be measured using 'Yes' or 'No' questions and attitude will be measured using the Likert scale. There will be 7 questions for the knowledge assessment and 5 questions with 5 points Likert scales for the attitude assessment. Individual scores on each item will be added to yield the sum score. Participants who score above the median in the assessment will be regarded to be knowledgeable or have a good attitude about MWHs, while those who score below the median will be judged to have poor knowledge or an unfavorable attitude. | up to six months |
