“…This study assessed the validity of maternal recall for 10 nutrition- Within the counselling topics examined in our study, the sensitivity of the nutrition-specific counselling was higher than that of nausea management or substance use, indicating that women who were observed receiving nutrition-related counselling also recalled receiving this information, likely indicating a successful information transfer. The nutrition counselling was often communicated with a visual aid, for example, a flip chart, which may have resulted in more effective communication than nausea or substance use counselling (Odackal et al, 2020).…”

The delivery of nutrition-related interventions and counselling during antenatal care is critical for a healthy pregnancy for both mother and child. However, the accuracy of maternal reports of many of these services during household surveys has not yet been examined. Our objectives were to assess the validity of the maternal reports of 10 antenatal nutrition interventions, including counselling, and examine associates between maternal characteristics and accuracy. Maternal report of services received collected during a post-partum survey was compared to the gold standard, the direct observation of all women's antenatal care visits. Individual-level validity was assessed by calculating indicator sensitivity, specificity and area under the operating curve (AUC). The inflation factor (IF) measured population-level bias. For five indicators, the high true coverage limited our ability to assess the validity of the maternal reports. There were no indicators that had both high individual-level validity (AUC > 0.70) and low population bias (0.75 < IF < 1.25). Indicators with greater true coverage estimates had higher sensitivity and lower specificity estimates compared to those indicators with lower true coverage. There were no maternal characteristics associated with the accuracy of the report. Maternal report of antenatal nutrition-related interventions and counselling during household surveys was found to have variable validity across indicators. Additional research in settings with varying coverage levels should be considered to best inform antenatal care coverage measurement in household surveys.
