Am J Trop Med Hyg 2016 94 (5) 1150-6 To increase maternal health service use and household water treatment (HWT), free water treatment kits were provided at first antenatal care (ANC) visits and free water treatment sachet refills at were provided follow-up ANC visits, delivery, and postnatal visits in 46 health facilities in rural Uganda. We evaluated the impact by surveying 226 women in the initiative (intervention group) and 207 women who received ANC before the initiative began (comparison group). There were no differences in the percentage of intervention and comparison group women with ≥ 4 ANC visits; however, a higher percentage of intervention group women reported treating their drinking water (31.7% versus 19.7%, P < 0.01), and had free chlorine residual in stored water (13.5% versus 3.4%, P < 0.02) than comparison group women. The intervention did not appear to motivate increased maternal health service use but demonstrated improvements in HWT. |
