Data were collected from a national sample of 119 Maternity Waiting Homes (MWHs) in Liberia established between 2010-2018.  
This is a descriptive study for which traditional sample size calculations are not appropriate, and for which purposive sampling of those who have been involved with MWHs and convenience samples of community members are ideal to generate the type of information needed.   
Ethical clearance was obtained from Institutional Review Boards at all engaged sites.  This includes ethical review boards from the University of Michigan and the University of Liberia.
Informed Consent was obtained before any data were collected.
This study used a convergent parallel mixed methods design that included qualitative data in the form of focus group discussions (FGDs), individual interviews, quantitative data retrieved from logbook reviews, and geo-location data collected through geographic information systems (GIS). Focus group discussions were conducted with community members, including chiefs, community leaders, women of reproductive age, traditional birth attendants (TBAs), women currently staying at a MWH, and male partners. Individual interviews were conducted with healthcare providers (midwives, registered nurses, and officers in charge) providing services at the rural primary healthcare facilities associated with a MWH. 
Logbook registries at rural health facilities with a MWH were reviewed to capture MWH usage. 
Qualitative data will be analyzed by study personnel for thematic analysis.   
Descriptive statistics, bi-variate and multi-variate analyses was conducted with quantitative data
