Summary

Maternal mortality is still high in Ethiopia. Antenatal care (ANC), use of skilled delivery attendants and postnatal care (PNC) services are key maternal health care services that can significantly reduce maternal mortality. However, interventions applied to the continued utilization of these key maternal heath services in a continuum of care approach (i.e. early initiation of ANC and continued utilization up to four plus vists, health facility delivery attended by skilled health care providers and attending three PNC visits) were not well applied and studied.

Hence, the purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness of checklist based box system interventions on improving utilization of maternal health service (Antenatal care, skilled birth attendance and postnatal care) utilization.

Checklist Based Box system intervention

The intervention has both behavioural change and service utilization drop out tracing mechanism. Special type of boxes designed to schedule health educations and continued service utilization monitoring boxes will be placed at health posts and health centers respectively. Community level survey will be conducted to identify suspected pregnant mothers using stanback et al, 1999 checklist, and mothers are linked to health centers. Then, they will be followed for their subsequent attendance of consecutive maternal health services (ANC 2nd-third PNC). Mothers who fail to utilize the service will be traced; will get person-centered health education to continue the service.
