Abstract

The study used the cross-sectional data from a representative sample of 4684 women with children aged 0–11 months from 115 districts collected between December 2014 and January 2015. In the follow-up survey 4801 new mothers were interviewed from 400 kebeles representing all 115 L10 K intervention woredas. Data from 10 kebeles were dropped, as the kebele level information of some of the contextual variables were not available. Thus, the sample size available for this study was 4684 women with children aged 0 to 11 months The study  compared intrapartum and newborn care practices related to the most recent childbirth, between those who reported having participated in a Family Conversation during pregnancy, and those who had not. Propensity score matched analysis was used to estimate average treatment effects of the Family Conversation strategy on intrapartum and newborn care practices, including institutional delivery, early postnatal and immediate breastfeeding.The differentials in the individual, household and kebele-level sample characteristics, administrative regions and antenatal care attendance by the respondents according to exposure to Family Conversation strategy were assessed using Pearson’s chi-squared statistics adjusted for survey design. Stata 14.2 was used for the analysis . Average treatment effect of exposure to Family Conversations on selected perinatal and postnatal maternal and newborn health care practice indicators were estimated using propensity score matching (PSM).About 17% of the respondents reported having had a Family Conversation during their last pregnancy. Average treatment effects of 7, 12, 9 and 16 percentage-points respectively were found for institutional deliveries, early postnatal care, clean cord care and thermal care of the newborn (p < 0.05).
