Description of intervention(s) / exposure
A 'Birthing on Country' service will be established in Mparntwe, Alice Springs, Central Arrernte Country, Central Australia, Northern Territory (NT) a remote, demonstration site . We will partner with key stakeholders through our community-based Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach to redesign a remote maternity service and increase support for First Nations women in both the primary and tertiary setting.
Key components of the intervention include:
- Multi-agency Partnership Committees and working parties providing culturally responsive overarching governance and leadership of redesign of maternity services and research, community engagement in co-designing care interventions.
- Antenatal care is provided at the Alukura Hub or woman’s home, other Congress clinics or location of woman’s choice by a named (primary) midwife in collaboration with the Alukura GP and ASH antenatal services. Alukura maternity services work in partnership with ASH Diabetes AnteNatal Care and Education clinic (DANCE) to support women with diabetes. DANCE provides specialist input in care of the women. Congress Alukura midwives, GP and diabetes nurse educator (DNE) meet weekly with ASH DANCE staff. Assist women with monitoring blood glucose levels (BGL), provide medication and testing supplies and education about self- management.
- Antenatal care interventions using First Nations knowledges will be co-designed to address modifiable preterm risk factors. This will be determined by the Congress Women's Health Committee and may include hunting trips, cultural camps, cultural days and other activities. Co-design will be lead by the Congress Women's Health Committee and Elders who attend weekly cultural days working in partnership with the Alukura and My Midwives teams, the hospital services and the research team. We may also have annual or biannual Women's Camps where further guidance is provided. Activities will occur after deep listening activities that enable guidance from the Elders.
- Midwives follow the Australian College of Midwives National Midwifery Guidelines for Consultation and Referral and use the CARPA Minymaku Kutju Tjukurpa Women’s Business Manual as a guide for practice. When women are Categorised as B, midwives consult with the GP obstetrician at Alukura or the specialist at ASH. When women are Category C, midwives consult with the specialist at ASH to plan a specialist antenatal appointment and ongoing care however women will continue to receive continuity of care by their named midwife and receive specialist input as required at Alukura or ASH (E.g. telehealth appointments with DANCE clinic and input from DNE).
- Women have 24/7 phone access to a known midwife.
- A midwifery group practice (Midwifery group practices are well described in Australian maternity literature) will be established at Alukura (AMGP) where midwives work in partnership with the Congress support services with weekly teleconference to the remote teams if women are transiting between remote and urban. All women are cared for during labour from a known midwife with support from ASH staff as required. Postnatal care in hospital primarily provided by ASH staff. Teleconferences will be used as needed to discuss clinical priorities, undertake continuous quality improvement, deliver professional development, and review barriers/challenges.
- After birth, when the women and baby return to the community, the midwife and Congress support services provide postnatal care up to 6-weeks. Postnatal care is delivered according to need and usually includes regular visits up to 6-weeks postnatal where mother and baby are supported with breastfeeding, care of the newborn (bathing, sleeping, settling) and other postnatal activities in line with the CARPA guidelines.
- Verbal and written handover of care for every transfer between services (AMGP to or from ASH or remote and to child health services).
- Women are referred to Congress support services (e.g. Australian Nurse Family Partnership team [ANFPP] and Intensive Family Support Service [IFSS] if they meet the criteria). Aim is to grow the Family Support Workers to ensure each midwife is working side-by-side with a Congress Family Support Worker who provides social and emotional wellbeing and practical support to all women across the maternity journey (if not accessing other services). Aim is to recruit and embed 2-student midwives into this service.
- Frontline staff are provided with clinical mentoring and reflective supervision with a focus on clinical and cultural safety, effective intercultural communication, and working together.
- A community-based hub provides a culturally responsive and safe place for women, families, caregivers and Elders to undertake cultural activities that allow connection, sharing and learning from each other within a strength-based approach to birthing and parenting. Community days will occur once a week with all women encouraged to attend.
- Strategies to monitor adherence to the intervention will be through patient medical records.
- The duration of the intervention will be commencing in September 2023 and ongoing as a sustainable service after data collection ends.

Comparator / control treatment
Historical control group are all women in the Congress Communicare data as receiving antenatal care (including women who have recorded a miscarriage or a termination of pregnancy) and those who have given birth to a First Nations baby inside or outside of NT (interstate interhospital transfer) 7 years prior to intervention starts. Data will be collected from Congress Communicare database and NT Perinatal Data Collection.
Characteristics of standard care:
- No First Nations oversight of maternity services
- Antenatal care is provided at the Alukura Hub, other Congress clinics, by a general practitioner or with the Alukura GP and ASH antenatal services (a dedicated outreach obstetrician visits Alukura regularly and other specialized services are available at the hospital e.g. the diabetic clinic).
- Midwives follow the National Midwifery Guidelines for Consultation and Referral. When women categorised as B (midwives consult with the GP obstetrician at Alukura or the specialist at ASH). When women are category C (transfer) they are referred to the Alice Springs Hospital for specialist antenatal appointments but may also continue care at Alukura.
- No 24/7 phone access to a known (primary) midwife.
- Hospital-based midwives and doctors rotate on rosters through the service. Birthing support is provided from a roster of midwives and may be a midwife the woman has never met.
- After birth, when the women and baby return to the community, postnatal care may be provided by the hospital DOM (weekends) then handover to an Alukura midwife or community clinic of Congress ad hoc (i.e not case managed by a known provider).
- Services communicate with referrals and discharge summaries via electronic mail (+/-phone). These are often missing or late. Alukura midwives attend ASH 3 days per week to check/confirm if any clients have birthed that are known to the team that they have not been notified about.
- Women are referred to Congress support services (Australian Nurse Family Partnership team up to 2-years or Intensive Family Support Service if they meet the criteria) and if there is enough staff.
- No ongoing provision of mentoring and reflective supervision.
- Community-based maternity staff may not meet regularly with ANFPP and IFSS program staff). Cultural activities may occur ad-hoc.

Statistical methods / analysis
The sample size was calculated based on our main primary outcome measure (preterm birth), with the intervention expected to lead to a reduction of preterm birth rate from 14.6% to 9.3% (Odds Ratio 0.6); similar to the findings in our BiOC study (Kildea et al, 2021). To detect this difference with 80% power and a type 1 error rate of 5%, after excluding ~7% of babies (multiple births / fetal anomaly) and ~10% missing records, 1402 women in total are needed, of which 882 will be in the pre-intervention and 520 in the post intervention group. We ensured the above sample size was also sufficient to detect a clinically significant difference for all primary outcomes with at least 80% power. In 2018 there were 139 Aboriginal women gave birth at Alice Springs Urban. We are expecting to complete recruitment in five years.
We will compare the difference in maternal and child health outcomes between the pre and post intervention cohorts. Initial bivariate analysis will investigate possible differences between the cohorts for baseline socio-demographic (socio-economic status), and clinical characteristics (e.g. age, parity, BMI, smoking, obstetric history etc) that could affect outcomes. Dependent on data type, preliminary analysis will be undertaken using independent samples t-tests, Mann-Whitney U tests or Chi-squared tests. Descriptive statistics will be reported as: means and standard deviations for continuous variables and number and percentages for categorical variables. For the formal modelling, linear regression will be employed for continuous outcomes, and logistic regression will be used for categorical outcomes (binary, multinomial and ordinal) yielding odds ratios and their 95% confidence intervals. All unadjusted effects will be generated using bivariate regression models (linear or logistic, as appropriate) whereas adjusted effect sizes will be estimated using propensity score adjustment based on inverse probability of treatment weighting (ITPW). Any confounders identified from the literature and our previous studies will be adjusted. Analysis will be performed with Stata or R and statistical significance is set as p<0.05.
We will examine the cost-effectiveness of the Alukura Midwifery Group Practice and health service redesign. The time horizon starts from the first presentation for antenatal care and includes the birth episode, postnatal care in hospital and communities up to six weeks after birth, readmissions up to six weeks postnatally for mothers and up to 28 days after birth for infants. The number of preterm births after service redesign is used as the effectiveness measures in the cost-effectiveness analysis. We will conduct an intention-to-treat in comparison of the two groups, pre and post intervention, respectively. Cost analyses will include measures of arithmetic means, between-group differences, variability of differences, and testing for statistical difference. The incremental cost effectiveness ratio (ICER) will be calculated as the arithmetic mean different in cost between two groups divided by the arithmetic mean difference in effect. The cost effectiveness scatterplots and cost-effectiveness acceptability curves will be explored to quantify the level of decision uncertainty.

Summary
Brief summary
The study aims to establish and evaluate Australia’s ‘Birthing on Country’ remote, demonstration site in Mparntwe, Alice Springs, Northern Territory. We will redesign the health service to increase continuity and quality of maternity care, and positively impact the health and wellbeing of First Nations women and babies in Central Australia. The clinical, cultural and cost effectiveness, and acceptability, of the new service will be systematically evaluated.
