A population-based prospective study in rural Ethiopia
The cohort comprises women who were in their second or third trimester of pregnancy in rural Ethiopia at the start of the study. Women were recruited if they had continuous residence in the area for at least six months prior and were aged over 15 years. A total of 1,251 women were then interviewed 4-12 weeks after delivery. Among cohort members, the mean age was 26.8 years and 98.6% were married, 67.0% were non-literate, and 92.1% were rural residents.
