Mortality Clinical Trial

Official title:
Lufwanyama Neonatal Survival Project

Clinical Trial Summary

We seek to determine whether we can reduce day 28 mortality in Zambian newborns by training traditional birth attendants a modified version of the neonatal resuscitation protocol (NRP) and by improving their abiltiy to identify sepsis and initiate antibiotics in the field.

Clinical Trial Description

This is a cluster randomized trial of the impact of providing additional training and supplies to traditional birth attendants in a rural setting in Zambia. 120 TBAs are randomized into intervention/control. Intervention TBAs receive NRP training, supplies for neonatal resuscitation, receiving blankets for thermoregulation, and amoxicillin tablets. Control TBAs continue according to prior standard of care. Primary outcome is mortality at 28 days life as a proportion of births attended by TBAs in each study arm. ;
