Children's Automated Respiration Monitor (ChARM) for Child Pneumonia Diagnosis by Community Health Workers in Mali

Acute Respiratory Infection Clinical Trial

Official title:
Children's Automated Respiration Monitor (ChARM) for Child Pneumonia Diagnosis by Community Health Workers in Mali: Innovating ChARM's Role in Supervision, Training and Diagnosis, a Cluster Randomized Control Trial

Clinical Trial Summary

The primary objective of this study is to estimate the impact of a self-monitoring tool (ChARM), used as a teaching/monitoring device, on the CHWs respiratory rate counting accuracy when assessing children under the age of 5 years with suspected pneumonia symptoms.

Clinical Trial Description

Methodology:

The study is designed as a community based, cluster randomized, pragmatic, intervention trial. It will be conducted within the existing 2016-2020 project structure. Specifically, the intervention will evaluate the potential of the ChARM device to improve CHWs competency in counting respiratory rate and diagnose pneumonia more accurately in children under 5 years presenting with symptoms in remote areas.

Intervention Group A - Community Health Workers (CHWs) (Basic training in CHW curriculum, ChARM training and 8-month application of the ChARM device, self-monitoring, direct observation and review of CHW routine monthly reports and drug supply sheets): 8 months, March- November 2018.

Intervention Group B - Community Health Workers (Basic training in CHW curriculum, ChARM training and 4-month application of the ChARM device, self-monitoring, direct observation and review of CHW routine monthly reports and drug supply sheets): 8 months,March- November 2018.

Control Group C - Community Health Workers (Basic training in CHW curriculum, direct observation and CHW routine monthly reports and drug supply sheets): 8 months, March- November 2018.

CHW and Field Monitor In-depth interviews - November 2018
