ARC aims to generate robust evidence and address the gaps in implementation research around maternal and newborn health, with emphasis on pregnancy risk factors and their associations with adverse pregnancy outcomes, including stillbirth, neonatal mortality and morbidity, and maternal mortality and severe morbidity. The goals are to develop a harmonized data set to improve the understanding of pregnancy risk factors, vulnerabilities, and morbidity and mortality and to estimate the burden of these risk factors and outcomes in LMICs. Ultimately, these data will inform the development of innovative strategies to optimize pregnancy outcomes for mothers and their newborns. We aim to collect data on 6000 pregnant women over a three-year period.
