A Feasibility Study of Integrating Maternal Nutrition Interventions Into Antenatal Care Services in Ethiopia

NCT04125368 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

Study Summary

Alive \& Thrive (A\&T) is an initiative that supports the scaling up of nutrition interventions to save lives, prevent illnesses, and contribute to healthy growth and development through improved maternal nutrition, breastfeeding and complementary feeding practices. In Ethiopia, A\&T integrated a package of maternal nutrition interventions into existing antenatal care (ANC) services delivered through government health facilities (counselling on diet quality during pregnancy, distribution and promotion of iron-folic acid (IFA) supplementation, weight gain monitoring, counselling on early breastfeeding practices, and systems strengthening through training and supportive supervision) and community platforms (home visits, Pregnant Women Conferences/Mother Support groups, and community gatherings). The evaluation used a two-arm cluster-randomized, non-masked trial design, consisting of two cross-sectional surveys in 2019 and 2021.

What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT04125368

The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT04125368 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 4,256 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is International Food Policy Research Institute, which has 3 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.

The record links to 3 conditions, with Maternal Dietary Diversity appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 3 interventions — of which Health Facility Interventions is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.

Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT04125368 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include District of Columbia. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
