Description
Summary:The recommendations can be grouped into different categories according to the strength of the recommendation as determined by an expert group and the applicability of the interventions to different contexts: * Interventions which are strongly recommended that could be implemented in different contexts: including birth preparedness and complication readiness, male involvement, partnership with traditional birth attendants, culturally-appropriate skilled maternity care, companion of choice at birth, and community participation in quality improvement processes and in programme planning and evaluation interventions. * Community mobilization through facilitated participatory learning and action cycles is strongly recommended and was studied through randomized controlled trials, which is a higher level of evidence than the other interventions. [...]health promotion approaches to increase use of maternity care services should be implemented in combination for synergistic effects. [...]it is important to include representation of all key community groups and ensure the voices of women and members of minority groups are not lost, so that participatory interventions do not simply reinforce harmful power imbalances. [...]the papers in this series share the limitations of most reviews, in that some studies – unpublished studies in particular – may have been missed.
