All infants delivered at the hospital or health centre will be weighed and gestational age assessed by a modification of Dubowitz's examination within 24 hours of delivery53. To ensure that birthweights of infants delivered at home are taken within seven days of delivery, a list of women with gestation of 34 weeks or more will be generated according to area of residence. This would be given to Community Key Informants (CKI) who would be contacted weekly by field staff for information on those who were delivered by TBAs or at home. A follow-up will then be made to take the weight of the babies. Mothers will be encouraged to inform CKIs soon after delivery. The TBAs will be asked to inform CKIs whenever they delivered a study subject, so that the samples can be collected.
