Community Level Youth-Led Interventions to Improve Maternal-Neonatal Outcomes in Low- and Middle-Income Countries: Protocol for a Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

On a global scale, women and childbearing people and neonates continue to die from preventable causes related to pregnancy or childbirth. Sustained and accelerated efforts are critical to improve maternal and neonatal health and well-being. Globally, youth are a growing population and have strength in their numbers. Youth are critical, key drivers of change in their communities. Young people hold the potential to affect positive change, and their meaningful engagement is important to improving maternal health and well-being in low- and middle-income countries.
