Abstract: This chapter focuses on maternal health in the context of vulnerable populations and international development, drawing from the experience of the Mozambique–Canada Maternal Health Project. The Project focuses on improving maternal and reproductive health and rights in rural Mozambique. Within the larger project, three research projects are highlighted, as each project utilizes different methods. The maternal experience study is a longitudinal qualitative critical interpretive study that explores diverse maternal experiences with participants using storytelling. The maternal near-miss study focuses on women who survive death from life-threatening obstetrical or other complications related to pregnancy and childbirth. This mixed-methods study uses hospital-based data as well as qualitative interviews with women who have had a near-miss experience. Using realist methods, the maternal waiting home study examines how and why the maternal waiting homes built by the Project and its context would lead to behavioral outcomes, and for whom. The chapter ends with key lessons learned, drawing from benefits and challenges encountered in implementing these projects.
