Summary

Maternity waiting homes (MWHs) were identified as a solution to improve pregnancy outcomes by bringing women living in geographically isolated areas closer to a healthcare facility. Literature shows that MWHs contribute significantly to the reduction of maternal death and stillbirth among users. Despite its importance in improving maternal \& neonatal health outcomes, the utilization of MWHs is very low in Ethiopia. It is important to investigate what strategies could be effective in improving MWH utilization. Therefore, in this study cluster-randomized controlled trials will be conducted to evaluate the effect of male partner involvement intervention on MWH utilization in Ethiopia.
