The purpose of this self-study manual is to provide accurate and accessible information on postpartum and newborn care to trainers of traditional birth attendants (TBAs) and other community-level maternal and child health (MCH) workers. The manual is divided into 8 units: (1) assessment of the local community; (2) postpartum assessment and care; (3) nutrition and breastfeeding; (4) postpartum depression; (5) postpartum family planning; (6) post-abortion care; (7) newborn assessment and care; and (8) management of common newborn problems. Each unit includes: un it purpose and learning objectives; a pre-test to assess what the reader already knows; self-study content; a post- test to check what the reader has learned; and a vocabulary list. Some units include case stories and exercises in applying the new information. Because this manual is intended for trainers of TBAs and community-level MCH workers, it does not include health conditions that require clinic-based care. The appendices of this manual include: a checklist for following progress through the manual; answers to the pre- and post-tests; information on training TBAs and community-level MCH workers, including preparing for, planning, conducting, and evaluating the training, as well as a sample training course timetable; a complete list of the vocabulary for each unit; a resource list of organizations, useful books, and training materials on related topics; a reference list for each unit; and a questionnaire to gather feedback for assessing and revising the manual.
