This report presents the results of a baseline survey conducted in the rural district of Bla in Mali to investigate levels of knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to maternal health care among women of reproductive age and corresponding household heads. The main objectives of the study were to guide the development of an information, education, and communication (IEC) intervention and to serve as a baseline for future comparison after the implementation of the IEC intervention.
