Korle Bu Teaching Hospital - Global Innovations for Reproductive Health & Life Healthy Birth Weight Study: A Cross-Section
In Brief
An observational study for Infant, Small for Gestational Age and 5 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 162 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study was designed and conducted in an effort to establish a comparison group for the Ghana PrenaBelt Trial (NTC02379728). The Ghana PrenaBelt Trial examined the effect, on birth weight, of a belt-like device to help pregnant women to avoid sleeping on their back during sleep in the third trimester. This study will seek to establish the typical birth weight of babies born to a cohort of healthy pregnant Ghanian women who are similar in characteristics to the women in the Ghana PrenaBelt Trial but who have not been educated to avoid back sleep during pregnancy nor have received a device to prevent back sleep.
