CHW interventions have been associated with improved birth outcomes. Through a systematic review, the authors of this study explore the relationship between birth outcomes and patient health knowledge and attitudes. The review suggests that CHW interventions have increased antenatal care utilization, enhanced knowledge of pregnancy-related danger signs, and contributed to reduction of infant mortality rates, perinatal mortality rates, and incidents of low birth weight. It is concluded that, in conjunction with clinical interventions, CHWs have the ability to significantly impact maternal and child health outcomes throughout both pregnancy and labor and delivery phases.
