To understand health care worker hygiene during labour and delivery and to understand the implications for infection risk.
Study was incorporated with the larger MCSP-supported initiative to improve quality of care for maternal and child health in Nigeria. It took place in health care facilities in Kogi and Ebonyi state, Nigeria, where one primary health care facility, one secondary facility, and one referral hospital were selected and women who met eligibility requirements (at least 18 years of age, presenting to the facility before stage 2 of labor, and able to provide consent) were recruited for participation. Up to 6 hours of observation were completed during labor.
