Theory of Reasoned Action
| Review | Title | Focus | Methodology | What the current review adds |
| Alternative versus standard packages of antenatal care for low‐risk pregnancy | Effectiveness of reduced schedule of ANC visits (FANC) | Quantitative (Cochrane Review) | Data that might explain why reduced visit schedules work/don't work for some women/groups | |
| Group versus conventional antenatal care for women | Effectiveness of different approaches to ANC | Quantitative (Cochrane Review) | Data that might explain why reduced visit schedules work/don't work for some women/groups | |
| Why marginalised women don't use ANC (HIC) | Exploration of women's views and experiences of non‐use of ANC in HICs | Qualitative metasynthesis | A wider scope, as the proposed review includes all women from all settings and includes facilitators as well as barriers | |
| Why women don't use ANC (LMICs) | Exploration of women's views and experiences of non‐use or limited use of ANC in LMICs | Qualitative metasynthesis | A wider scope, as the proposed review includes all women from all settings and includes facilitators as well as barriers | |
| Women's perceptions of access to prenatal care in the USA | Exploration of women's views and experiences of access to ANC in the USA | Qualitative metasynthesis | A wider scope, as the proposed review includes all women from all settings | |
| What matters to women | Exploration of what pregnant women might want and need to support them through pregnancy | Qualitative metasynthesis | This review excluded women who were reporting on their actual experience of ANC. The proposed review will include these accounts. | |
| Factors that influence the provision of intrapartum and postnatal care by skilled birth attendants in low‐ and middle‐income countries: a qualitative evidence synthesis | Exploration of the attitudes, views, experiences and behaviours of skilled birth attendants and those who support them, to identify factors that influence the delivery of intrapartum and postnatal care in low‐ and middle‐income countries | Qualitative evidence synthesis | Data that might identify the barriers and facilitators associated with the delivery of intrapartum and postpartum care from the perspective of healthcare providers |
