The main questions it aims to answer are:\n\n* Does a community-based intervention using indigenous structures significantly improve the uptake of maternal health services (ANC, delivery, and PNC)?\n* Does the intervention effectively reduce the prevalence of maternal depression during the pregnancy and postpartum periods?\n* To what extent does the intervention improve the nutritional status (reducing thinness and stunting) of mothers and their children? Researchers will compare a group of women receiving counseling from trained indigenous social support groups to a control group receiving only the routine health and nutrition education provided by the standard healthcare system to see if the indigenous approach leads to better health and nutritional outcomes.\n\nParticipants will:\n\n* Receive four counseling sessions during pregnancy (starting before 16 weeks of gestation) and four additional sessions during the lactation period, conducted in their homes by trained social support groups.\n* Receive educational leaflets containing core health and nutrition messages and appropriate pictures.\n* Participate in two rounds of surveys (baseline, and endline) involving interviewer-administered questionnaires.\n* Undergo physical measurements, specifically mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC), to assess nutritional status.",[67,68],"Maternal and Child Health","Maternal Nutrition","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2026-04-03",{"date":72,"type":73},"2026-04-13","ACTUAL",{"date":75,"type":61},"2026-04-01",{"date":77,"type":61},"2028-06-30",{"name":5,"class":6},1]
