Effectiveness of a nutrition education and counselling training package on antenatal care: a cluster randomized controlled trial in Addis Ababa.

The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends the need for a strong nutrition training package for practitioners, including antenatal care (ANC) providers. Without such a training package, ANC visits remain a missed opportunity to address nutritional problems among pregnant women. This study evaluated the effectiveness of an in-service nutrition education and counselling package on the providers' counselling skills during ANC visits.
