Brief summary describing the background
and objectives of the trial
|
Malaria in pregnancy remains a serious public health problem in sub-Saharan Africa. It is also associated with serious consequences which include maternal and neonatal mortality; maternal anaemia; abortion; low birth weight, and others. The World Health Organisation (WHO) recommends for pregnant women in these endemic areas, the use of Insecticide Treated Nets (ITN) and Intermittent Preventive Treatment with Sulphadoxime-Pyrimethamine (IPT-SP). Despite the high prevalence of malaria among pregnant women in Maiduguri and its serious consequences, most of them do not adhere to these prescribed measures. The aim of this study is to develop, implement and assess the effects of a health education on these malaria preventive behaviours and adverse pregnancy outcomes among pregnant women in Maiduguri. |
