Using an implementation research approach to assess the birth outcomes associated with the 2016 World Health Organization antenatal care policy across states in Nigeria: multilevel analysis of national survey data
Our findings suggest the need for more nuanced ANC promotion campaigns that would target the varied maternal age and parous spectrum along the maternal and child health continuum. Further research is needed to evaluate the degree to which the state-level implementation of the policy may have also influenced adherence to the 2016 WHO ANC recommendations.
