They found women and children would use health    (1)    more often when they could see a female health worker. Northern Nigeria is conservative area with a population that is mostly Muslim. Dr. Sally Findley is a professor at Columbia University Medical Center. She co-wrote the report on the study. She said it is unusual for women to work as health care providers there. "Most women are not expected to be living on their own, providing health care essentially 24/7, or riding around    (2)    families in the scattered    (3)    ." Nigeria has one of the world's highest death rates of women connected with pregnancy and childbirth. This is called the "maternal death" rate. The worst rate of maternal death in Nigeria is in the northern region.

They also gave advice on family planning.Each clinic had two health workers. That way, one could go out on home visits while the other was available to    (8)    services in the clinic.State officials in Jigawa were happy with the positive results of the study.
