The study aims to test strategies to promote institutional deliveries and uptake of other maternal and child health services among sedentary (pastoral dropouts) residents in Garissa in Kenya. The study will test a package of two innovative community-and facility-based interventions to: a) increase demand for maternal and new-born health services working with the traditional clan system; and b) improve the birthing experience in institutions by providing culturally and socially sensitive and acceptable delivery services at health facilities. The ultimate goal of both interventions is to reduce maternal and new-born deaths by minimizing pregnancy-related complications and ensuring proper and timely management of obstetric emergencies which are common in pregnant women who do not attend antenatal care clinics and those who deliver without skilled birth attendance.","coll_dates":[{"start":"2018-05-23","end":"2018-06-13","cycle":"Baseline"},{"start":"2019-02-21","end":"2019-03-16","cycle":"End line"}],"nation":[{"name":"Kenya","abbreviation":"KEN"}],"geog_coverage":"The study was caried-out in Garrissa county which is located in the North Eastern region of Kenya; in three locations namely Madinah, Iftin  and Township","analysis_unit":"Households\nIndividual\nWomen aged 15-49 years","universe":"The survey covered all de jure household members (usual residents) and all women age 15-49 years resident and who have ever been pregnant in last 5 years in the sample\nhousehold.","notes":"The scope of the \"Afya Kwa Ukoo\" project include:\nHOUSEHOLD:\n-  Characteristics of the household's dwelling unit, such as main source of water, type of toilet facility and location, type of fuel\nused for cooking, materials used for the floor, roof and walls of the house, and possessions of durable goods (including land\nand livestock).\n\nINDIVIDUAL WOMAN\n- Characteristics such as age, marital status, religion, place of residence, tribe\/clan,highest level of education\n- Reproductive health current pregnacy status, number of births still and alive, child history such as name, date of bith, place of delivery and who assisted during the delivery\n- Family Planning history like knowledge and current use of modern contracetives\n- Antenatal care, delivery and postnatal care history like when and where she recieved the ANC and PNC services and who saw her, place of delivery of the last born child and who assisted her during delivery.\n- Child health based on childhood illnesses and breastfeeding history\n- Vaccination of children under 5 years of age","study_scope":"The scope of the \"Afya Kwa Ukoo\" project include:\nHOUSEHOLD:\n-  Characteristics of the household's dwelling unit, such as main source of water, type of toilet facility and location, type of fuel\nused for cooking, materials used for the floor, roof and walls of the house, and possessions of durable goods (including land\nand livestock).\n\nINDIVIDUAL WOMAN\n- Characteristics such as age, marital status, religion, place of residence, tribe\/clan,highest level of education\n- Reproductive health current pregnacy status, number of births still and alive, child history such as name, date of bith, place of delivery and who assisted during the delivery\n- Family Planning history like knowledge and current use of modern contracetives\n- Antenatal care, delivery and postnatal care history like when and where she recieved the ANC and PNC services and who saw her, place of delivery of the last born child and who assisted her during delivery.\n- Child health based on childhood illnesses and breastfeeding history\n- Vaccination of children under 5 years of age"},"method":{"data_collection":{"sampling_procedure":"The CUs in the intervention group were purposively selected based on discussions with the sub-county community strategy coordinator for Garissa sub-county. The control location had been tentatively chosen to be Madinah following discussions with Garissa county health management team (CHMT). It is geographically distant from the intervention locations, but had similar characteristics. From each of the three sites, two CUs were selected. The systematic random sampling was used to select 50% of the sample from four purposively selected CUs in the two intervention sites and another 50% from the control site (2 CUs). Given that every CU has about 500 households and about same number of women who have been pregnant in last 5 years, for the intervention site, we randomly select a starting household and subsequently visit the 12th house. For the control site, we visited very 6th household until required number is reached. If there are no eligible women or there is a refusal, the next household was visited.","coll_mode":"Face-to-face [f2f]","research_instrument":"The questionnaire for the \"Afya kwa Ukoo\" project were structured which collected various information on househod characteristics, socio-demoghraphics characteristics, reproductive health history, family planning history, child health history and child immunization history.","act_min":"The face-to-face interviewing was conducted by teams of interviewers.
