Summary

High maternal mortality is a major public health problem in many settings. Because of low antenatal care (ANC) and skilled birth usage, Ugandan women and their children suffer from high maternal and perinatal mortality. The investigators developed a promising intervention (Support-Moms app) that shares targeted health information, and engages social support networks through scheduled reminders to help support pregnant women to utilize maternity services in rural Uganda. The investigators now propose to test and implement the Support-Moms intervention and hypothesize that Support-Moms will be feasible and cost-effective in improving utilization of available maternity care services, and ultimately reduce maternal and perinatal mortality.
