Sponsor's own description
The UBC was a USAID-funded longitudinal prospective cohort study of pregnant women (n= 5030) aged 15-49 years from rural North and South-Western regions of Uganda, conducted between 2014 and 2016. The aim of the UBC study was to observationally follow pregnant women and their newborns until 2 years of age and compare changes over time in communities that were part of an ongoing USAID project called the Community Connector (CC) compared to those communities that were not included in the Community Connector project.
