    Description:
    GRAND is a five-year, cluster randomized controlled trial. The study is registered on ClinicalTrials.gov, [ID#: NCT04033003] and is a collaboration between University of Michigan in the United States and the Dodowa Health Research Center in Ghana. , The study setting for GRAND is four districts (Akwapim North, Yilo Krobo, Nsawam-Adoagyiri, and Lower Manya Krobo) within the Eastern Region of Ghana. Health facilities were selected based the number ANC registrants per month and average gestational age of women at registration in each facility., and Facilities were then matched based on facility type, district, and number of monthly ANC registrants. A cluster randomized controlled trial was conducted in 14 facilities in four districts of the Eastern Region of Ghana. Health facilities were randomized using a matched pairs design; each pair was similar in the number of deliveries and average gestational age of the women at enrollment in antenatal care. The locations of the facilities were far enough apart to avoid cross-group contamination. In each pair of facilities, one was randomly assigned to the intervention (G-ANC) and the other to the control (I-ANC). Recruitment began July 2019 and ended when enrollment targets were met. Data collection ended July 2023 when data collection was complete.
