Maternal and Child Health clinical trials

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.

Impact Evaluation of Super Abbu: A Speech Based MNCH Platform in Pakistan

Start date: June 1, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The investigators have developed, piloted, and propose to expand and to experimentally evaluate a speech-based service that connects expectant fathers to doctors and to each other over a simple phone call. This service, dubbed Super Abbu (Super Dad in English), addresses the challenges faced by existing efforts in several new and important ways: - The service targets fathers. Currently, the entire public health infrastructure in Punjab is geared towards providing information to women. - It supplements LHWs by providing information between LHW visits. - It does so in a manner appropriate for those who are illiterate and do not have smartphones. - It does not require synchronous phone calls. Expectant fathers can leave questions to be answered. And they can access past questions and answers asked by themselves and other users. - Through experience developing, publicizing, and driving adoption of speech-based services, the investigators believe they can overcome the slow adoption rate faced by the Punjab Health Line. Principal investigator Raza previously developed and launched Baang in Punjab, an entertainment speech-based social service, similar to Reddit, which accumulated 42,500 calls by 1,550 users within 71 days of its launch. These users listened to 393,448 speech posts.
