Summary
This study looked at whether community health workers visiting pregnant women at home in rural South Africa could improve health for both mothers and children. About 1,490 women took part, with some areas getting the home-visit program and others not. The program aimed to help with issues like low baby weight, HIV care, alcohol use, and depression. Researchers tracked things like breastfeeding, clinic visits, and child growth for one year after birth.
