Abstract Background: Maternal and newborn deaths and ill health are relatively common in low income countries, but can adequately be addressed through locally, collaboratively designed, and responsive research. This has the potential to enable the affected women, their families and health workers themselves to explore ‘why maternal and newborn adverse outcomes continue to occur. The objectives of the study include; 1. To work with seldom heard groups of mothers, their families, and health workers to identify unanswered research questions for maternal and newborn health in villages and health facilities in rural Uganda 2. To establish locally responsive research questions for maternal and newborn health that could be prioritised together with the public in Uganda 3. To support the case for locally responsive research in maternal and newborn health by the ministry of health, academic researchers and funding bodies in Uganda. (Continued on next page)
