'The objective of SMPP Phase II was to improve maternal and neonatal health outcomes by: improving maternal and neonatal health (MNH) service delivery at health facilities; strengthening CSGs to implement community led actions for saving mother and newborn lives; involving the local government bodies to support MNH services; and empowering women, through awareness building, to obtain participation and accountability for overcoming barriers to access healthcare services' (p. 4).
Participants	Eligible: women having given birth in the year preceding  data collection; residing in study areas (intervention or control areas) and able to give written informed consent. Location: Kalaroa Upazila of Satkhira District, Bangladesh Total n = 4675 women (intervention group: n = 2407 (1102 baseline, 1305 at follow up); control group: n = 2268 (1237 baseline, 1031 at follow up).
Interventions	Multicomponent intervention at healthcare facilities and community levels, involving Community Support Groups embedded within Community Clinics and serving to create demand and mobilise the community, working in collaboration with a Community Group (governing and management body, ensuring quality of care).  Purpose is to promote better maternal and neonatal health outcomes; comparison with usual practice.
