TRIAL DESCRIPTION
Public title Promoting Respectful Maternity Care for Adolescents: A Quasi-experimental Study
Official scientific title Promoting Respectful Maternity Care for Adolescents: A Quasi-experimental Study
Brief summary describing the background and objectives of the trial Intra-partum mistreatment by healthcare providers remains a global public heath and human rights challenge. Adolescent women, who are typically younger, poorer and less educated have been suggested to be disproportionately exposed to intra-partum mistreatment. In Ghana, maternal mortality remains a leading cause of death among adolescent females, despite increasing use of skilled birth attendance in health facilities. In response to the WHO-HRP alliance’s recommendations to address mistreatment with Respectful Maternity Care (RMC), this study aims to generate evidence on promoting respectful treatment of adolescents using an intervention that trains health providers on the concept of mistreatment, their professional roles in RMC and the rights of adolescents to RMC
