Gifty Dufie AmpofoHarry TagborImelda BatesPublished in: Malaria journal (2018)
Although its potential was evident, this study found no significant beneficial effect of women participating in their malaria and haemoglobin tests on pregnancy outcomes. Exploring factors influencing health worker compliance to health intervention implementation and patient adherence to health interventions within this context will contribute in future to improving intervention effectiveness. Trial registration ISRTCTN88917252.
