This proposal is a program evaluation of a group care delivery model designed for pregnant women that was implemented as a pilot project in Teso District, Kenya in 2012.
The investigators will carry out a pre/post evaluation of this program comparing maternal and child health indicators collected at the facility and at 10 comparison facilities in the year prior to implementation (2012) and throughout the duration of the program (2013-2014). They will also analyze program attendance records, anonymous exit surveys, and training records.
