Official title:
Intervening to Improve Birth Weight and Infant Respiratory Health in Rural Ghana

Study type | Interventional |
The purpose of the study is to understand how cooking might affect the health of pregnant
women and their babies.
The goal of the research is to determine whether, interventions in decreasing exposure to
smoke from cook stoves can bring about a significant change in the indoor air pollution
levels and health of communities in Ghana.
Hypothesis 1. Use of improved cook stoves starting by the third trimester pregnancy will lead
to a significant increase in average birth weight in newborns.
Hypothesis 2. Use of improved cook stoves will lead to a significant reduction in the rate of
severe acute lower respiratory disease during the first 12 months of life.

Eligibility |
A cluster was eligible to participate if it: - Is located in Kintampo North or South Districts (this is the core study area for KHRC) - Is primarily rural (in practice, this excludes Kintampo, which is a small city of approximately 40,000 people); - Is operationally feasible (in practice, this excluded a handful very small, isolated clusters that would have presented extraordinary logistical challenges); - Is home to women who primarily deliver at one of our four staffed birth facilities (in practice this excluded one village on the edge of the study area, in which women travel to another district for deliveries). A woman will be eligible to participate in the study if she: - Is in the first or second trimester of pregnancy (gestational age = 24 weeks gestation; this is to ensure that the intervention is actually delivered prior to 27 weeks) - Is carrying a live singleton fetus (twins will be excluded) - Is the primary cook in her household or compound; and - Is a non-smoker. |
