Because of this, the study design involves a sequential rollout where all groups eventually receive the health education intervention aimed at evaluating birth preparedness and complication readiness changes. At the beginning, the five clusters were identified by simple random sampling. Sequential allocation or randomly assigning each cluster to a specific wedge or starting point will be conducted. At the baseline all clusters begin in the control phase. During the steps (every month to six months) one or more clusters cross over to the intervention phase (implementing BPCR education). During the end phases, all clusters are in the intervention group. The study involves cohort sampling; the same pregnant women are followed through the entire study for six months.
