From: The MONARCH intervention to enhance the quality of antenatal and postnatal primary health services in rural South Africa: protocol for a stepped-wedge cluster-randomised controlled trial

The MONARCH stepped wedge study design. Clinics provided baseline (pre-intervention) data until each rolled over to the intervention in random order. All clinics provided data continuously throughout the study period. Baseline data collection across all clinics occurred from 15 July 2015 to 28 September 2015 (Step 0). As data extraction on antenatal visits was retrospective from the point of delivery, the baseline observation period covered an additional ~ 6 months for the first recruited participants – thus Step 0 covered a duration of ~ 8 months
