| Study objectives | 1. Nutritional and/or hand-hygiene programs can reduce the anaemia in pregnant women and improve foetal birth weight at delivery in soil-transmitted helminth (STH) endemic area. 2. Hand-hygiene program has synergistic effect to nutritional program to reduce anaemia in pregnant women and improve foetal birth weight in soil-transmitted helminth (STH) endemic area. |
| Ethics approval(s) | Ethics approval was obtained from the Ethics Committee of Faculty of Medicine, Prince of Songkla University, Songkhla, Thailand (reference no. EC 50/354-012), Ethic Committee of Ministry of Public Health (reference no. 9/2008) |
| Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | STH infestation, maternal anaemia, foetal birth weight |

Intervention 1: nutritional program The 15 minutes flipchart on nutritional knowledge and practice consisted of four topics: 2.1. Importance of nutrition for mother and their foetus 2.2. Affect of malnutrition and further health problems 2.3. Kinds of food and adequate quantity for mother 2.4. Appropriate methods to choose and prepare food for cooking. 2. Intervention 2: hand hygiene program The 15 minutes flipchart on hand-hygiene knowledge and practice consisted of four topics: 3.1. Epidemiology of STH and the effects on mother and baby 3.2. Important route of transmission 3.3. Important of hand hygiene for personal health and STH transmission 3.4. Correct methods of hand washing 4. Intervention 3: nutritional plus with hand hygiene program The 30 minutes flipchart on nutritional and hand-hygiene knowledge |

| Primary outcome measure | 1. Maternal anaemia, defined as haemoglobin <11g/dL (WHO criteria), measured at recruitment (12-20 weeks) and 32 weeks of gestation. 2. Foetal birth weight |
| Secondary outcome measures | STH infestation: Binary outcome is infested or not infested. If infested then the intensity and type of helminths is measured at recruitment( 12-20weeks) and 3 month after recruitment. |
