*Total of 17 ANC clinics not included: 16 clinics were excluded (7 intervention and 9 control) due to loss-to-follow up of ANC provider, that is, the clinics did not have at least 1 ANC provider present across all study time points while 1 ANC clinic in Kenya was never visited at subsequent time points due to issues with insecurity. An ANC provider from one of the clinics in Kenya that had been inaccessible due to insecurity attended the person-centred communication training and was subsequently interviewed.
