Generating Insights from Trends in Newborn Care Practices from Prospective Population-Based Studies: Examples from India Bangladesh and Nepal

摘要

BackgroundDelivery of essential newborn care is key to reducing neonatal mortality rates, yet coverage of protective birth practices remains incomplete and variable, with or without skilled attendance. Evidence of changes over time in newborn care provision, disaggregated by care practice and delivery type, can be used by policymakers to review efforts to reduce mortality. We examine such trends in four areas using control arm trial data.
