Effect of facilitation of local maternal-and-newborn stakeholder groups on neonatal mortality: a cluster randomised trial
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Facilitation of local women’s groups may reportedly reduce neonatal mortality. It is not known whether facilitation of groups composed by local healthcare staff and politicians can improve perinatal outcomes. We hypothesized that facilitation of local stakeholder groups would reduce neonatal mortality (primary outcome) and improve maternal, delivery and newborn care indicators (secondary outcomes) in Quang Ninh province, Vietnam. Trial registration: Current Controlled Trials ISRCTN44599712.
