Maternal and child health theses examine whether services and schemes reach the women they are designed for. The sample titles study use of antenatal and postnatal care, choice of delivery place in tribal villages, ASHA home visits, Janani Suraksha Yojana benefits, knowledge of danger signs, maternal near-miss and delays in seeking care, and timeliness of birth-dose vaccines.

Community surveys of recently delivered women need a defined recall period and verification from MCP cards or facility records. Tribal and remote settings add travel time and language barriers, so trained local interviewers help. Hospital-based studies, such as near-miss audits, need cooperation from obstetrics and access to case sheets, with confidentiality maintained.

4Tips for a Maternal & Child Health thesis

  • Use the WHO near-miss criteria for maternal near-miss studies and the three delays model to classify delays in seeking, reaching and receiving care.
  • Define adequate antenatal care by the nationally recommended number of visits and components, and verify each one from the MCP card rather than recall.
  • For tribal or rural surveys, describe how villages and households were sampled, and use a pre-tested questionnaire translated into the local language.
