Maternal health in Nairobi slums is a critical public health issue, with low rates of maternal education and healthcare utilization. A quasi-experimental design was employed to assess pre- and post-workshop changes. Data were collected through structured interviews, with a sample size of 150 participants randomly selected from the target population. Participants demonstrated significant increases in knowledge about maternal health (mean increase: 32%, CI 25%, 40%) and reported higher intentions to seek medical care (68%, CI 59%, 77% for those who attended all sessions). The workshops had a positive but variable impact, warranting further optimization of delivery methods. Further research should focus on replicating the model in different communities and exploring longer-term outcomes.
