Unclean cooking fuel use and stillbirth in Ghana: evidence from the 2022 DHS

Expanding access to clean fuels and leveraging antenatal care services for culturally responsive clean-energy counseling may help reduce stillbirth risk. Prospective studies with exposure monitoring are needed to establish temporality.
