•and the individual level of analysis. Hospitals with the highest antenatal care attendance,
•equip medical and laboratory facilities and more screening facilities for ANC will be
•selected for this study. Phebe and the Charles B. Dunbar hospitals are two centrally referral
•hospitals located in Liberia with a high level of ANC attendance. These two hospitals will
•be selected because they provide all the minimum recommended ANC services (drugs
•availability, laboratory standard, and so on).
•At the individual level, pregnant women availing ANC for the first time at the selected
•hospitals will be the sample population. Additionally, Pregnant women with no chronic
•medical problems, those accessible via mobile phone, and those who are willing to sign the
•consent form will be eligible for this study. A total of 147 pregnant women will take part
•in this study. Seventy-five (75) pregnant women will be assigned to each treatment arm.

•chronic health-related problems in pregnancy, those who are not reachable via mobile
•phone, and finally those who will refuse to sign the consent form. Pregnant women who
•have had prior ANC visits will be excluded because they have been exposed to other ANC
•interventions that could affect the outcome variables
