Prenatal Care Clinical Trial
Official title:
HIV With Innovative Group Antenatal Care in Two African Countries
The quality of antenatal care (ANC) in much of sub-Saharan Africa is constrained by severe resource and staffing shortages. The investigators adapted and piloted an evidence-based model of group antenatal care as an innovative way to improve ANC service delivery and increase health promotion. This pilot will be conducted in Malawi and Tanzania and will provide data to prepare for a large randomized controlled trial to document the impacts that group antenatal has on perinatal health outcomes. This study will ultimately inform policy and practice aimed at improving quality of antenatal care through respectful and woman-centered care to pregnant women.

---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Adherence to Care | Two Indicators: Attended 4 (or more) antenatal care visits (yes, no) and the 6-week postnatal visit (yes, no) | 6-8 weeks postpartum | No |
Secondary | Healthy Pregnancy Knowledge Index | 14-item true/false questions measured two times in pregnancy and scored as percent correct (range 0-100%) | Enrollment, 32-40 weeks gestation | No |
Secondary | Healthy Pregnancy Behaviors | Substance use behaviors in the last two months for: tobacco products, alcohol, and marijuana. Two nutritional behaviors were asked about. One was whether or not she ate fruits or vegetables at least 3 times a day for 5 or more days in the past week. The second focused on eating protein at least once a day for 5 or more days in the past week. Measured two times in pregnancy. Three or less of these five behaviors scored as 0 and four or more healthy behaviors were categorized as a 1 (Dichotomous) | Enrollment, 32-40 weeks gestation | No |
Secondary | Prevention of Mother-to-Child (PMTCT) Knowledge | 4-item PMTCT knowledge index measured two times in pregnancy and scored as 1 if all four were correct and 0 if one or more item was incorrect (Dichotomous) | Enrollment, 32-40 weeks gestation | No |
Secondary | Comprehensive HIV Prevention Knowledge | 5-item comprehensive HIV knowledge index measured twice in pregnancy. Scored as 1 if all five items were correctly and 0 if one or more item was incorrect (Dichotomous) | Enrollment, 32-40 weeks gestation | No |
Secondary | Mental Distress | 20-item yes/no Self Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ-20) to assess mental distress was measured two times in pregnancy. Validated in multiple countries including Malawi and Tanzania (Range 0-20, baseline a = 0.789; late pregnancy a = 0.848). We dichotomized scores to low (<8 symptoms) and high (=8), a level used in clinics for referral. (Dichotomous) | Enrollment, 32-40 weeks gestation | No |
Secondary | Pregnancy-Related Empowerment Scale (PRES) | The pregnancy-related empowerment scale (PRES) is a 16-item Likert-type scale with items ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 4 (strongly agree) that is intended to assess a woman's sense of control over their pregnancy health and health care. Measured once in late pregnancy (Range 16-64, Continuous) | 32-40 weeks gestation | No |
Secondary | Satisfaction with Care | 10-item satisfaction with antenatal care index; Measured once in late pregnancy with 5 response options between 1 (poor) and to 5 (excellent) (Range 13-50, Continuous) | 32-40 weeks gestation | No |
Secondary | Any Adverse Perinatal Event | Fetal demise, stillbirth, neonatal death, preterm birth, low birth weight, or maternal death. None experienced = 0; one or more = 1 (Dichotomous) | 6-8 weeks postpartum | No |
