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 | |

| 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. | |
