Summary

This study will evaluate whether or not provision of a simple card ("footlength card") that allows identification of low birth weight and/or preterm babies through measurement of the length of a baby's foot, can improve basic newborn care behaviors in rural Nepal.

Conditions

  • Low Birth Weight Babies
  • Preterm Babies

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Footlength Card

The footlength card has an image of a baby's foot. The card is to be held up against the baby's foot after birth; if a baby's foot is smaller than the image, or if the woman/family member is concerned about the health of their baby, they can call the number printed on the card and hear a pre-recorded message about basic care for newborn babies
