Condition: Non-communicable Diseases (NCD) · Sponsor: Norwegian Institute of Public Health
The ENABLE study focuses on pregnant women attending routine antenatal care (ANC) in urban primary health care facilities in four Ethiopian cities. Many women in this setting face increased health risks due to unhealthy diets, low physical activity, and exposure to air pollution which can affect both maternal and newborn health and increase the risk of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) later in life. In this study, pregnant women in intervention health centers receive structured, tailored counseling as part of their regular ANC visits. This counseling supports healthier eating, physical activity and reduced exposure to air pollution. Health care providers, including health workers in health centers and Urban Health Extension Professionals (UHEPs), are trained to deliver this counseling supported by a digital ANC eRegistry for clinical decision-making, which enhances adherence to national guidelines, and strengthens the quality of care. Facilitators further strengthen the intervention's implementation by ensuring fidelity to counseling protocols and by adapting content to the Ethiopian urban health system context. The study hypothesis is that integrating lifestyle counseling into routine ANC will improve maternal health behaviors and pregnancy outcomes, and reduce NCD risk among pregnant women, compared with standard routine ANC alone. By embedding NCD prevention within routine maternal health services, the ENABLE study aims to strengthen the role of ANC as a platform for ea…
