About this trial
The investigators propose to increase ANC uptake through a health systems strengthening approach that links digital data platforms and trains community Work Improvement Teams (WITs) to use these data to identify problems and come up with local solutions. Our short name C-it DU-it (pronounced "see-it; do-it") is an acronym intended to convey 'seeing' linked data (C-it) and 'doing' or acting on the data (DU-it). The trial design is a 2-arm, cluster-randomised controlled superiority trial in Homa Bay County to determine the efficacy of 'C-it DU-it' intervention (data use arm) to increase ANC contacts when compared to the 'C-it' enhanced standard of care (control arm).
