Summary

Researchers are testing whether a video-informed information and planning session during the third trimester of pregnancy helps women and their partners seek recommended health care. The trial enrolls 800 pregnant women and their male partners in rural Côte d'Ivoire. A study team member shows videos about care during late pregnancy, childbirth, and the first six weeks after birth, then leads a short discussion. The study measures how many health care contacts women have, including antenatal visits, facility births, and postpartum care.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
a video-informed information and planning session for pregnant women and their partners
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a low-cost way to help pregnant women and their partners seek recommended health care, potentially improving outcomes for mothers and newborns in rural areas.
What could go wrong
The trial may show that the video session does not change care-seeking behavior, or that any effect is too small to matter. Results from rural Côte d'Ivoire may not apply elsewhere.
