Provision of pregnancy tests by community health workers (CHWs) in low resource settings has the potential to reach a large proportion of women in these regions. This randomized control trial looks at the efficiency of an intervention which involves CHWs supplying home pregnancy tests and whether this approach brings in more clients for ante natal counselling (ANC).
