A Scoping Review to Enhance Antenatal Care Delivery and Seeking Behaviors for Adolescent Pregnant Girls
About Project
The project addresses the critical health and nutrition needs of pregnant adolescent girls in Pakistan, where maternal and newborn health indicators are notably poor. High neonatal mortality rates, low birthweight prevalence, and widespread micronutrient deficiencies underscore the urgency of improving antenatal care (ANC). With a significant portion of adolescent pregnancies occurring in low- and middle-income countries, including Pakistan, the project focuses on enhancing the quality and accessibility of ANC for this vulnerable group. The transition from iron-folic acid to multiple micronutrient supplements (MMS) highlights the need for research to adapt ANC services to better support pregnant adolescents.
Scoping Research on Antenatal Care Practices for Pregnant Adolescent Girls: Conducted a comprehensive desk review aimed at enhancing antenatal care-seeking behaviors and delivery practices for pregnant adolescent girls in Pakistan. This research focused on the transition from iron-folic acid supplements to multiple micronutrient supplements within the routine public antenatal care system. Key areas analyzed include service delivery mechanisms, health system capacities, stakeholder engagement, and the impact of supplementation during pregnancy.
Finalizing and submitting the scoping desk review report for approval.
