dc.description.abstractIn Bauchi State (Nigeria) maternal morbidity is associated with domestic violence, heavy work in pregnancy, ignorance of danger signs, and lack of spousal communication. This cluster randomized controlled trial tested the impact of universal home visits where risk factors were discussed with pregnant women and their spouses, to precipitate household actions that protect pregnant women. Universal home visits which share evidence and provoke discussion between pregnant women and their husbands can reduce maternal morbidity without an increased load on facilities for antenatal and delivery care.en
