The purpose of this proposed study is twofold: First, we propose to develop a deeper understanding of the experiences of severe maternal morbidity among survivors, their families, and their communities, and explore the boundaries of what is considered severe maternal morbidity (SMM) versus other severe complications of pregnancy. Second, we propose to develop community-driven intervention strategies to improve maternal, child, and reproductive health outcomes.
