- Assessing the effect of GAP on stillbirth rate requires large scale observational studies that analyse ‘evaluation in practice’
- Implementation in 3 NHS regions compared to the rest of the country; there was a significant drop in stillbirth rate in regions with high uptake of GAP, while it did not change in the rest of the country over the same period 34
- The analysis was able to conclude that this association was causal.
