Obstetric Complication Clinical Trial
Official title:
Evaluation of an mHealth Intervention to Improve Women's Access to Maternal Health Services in Rural Tanzania
This study investigates whether training Community Health Workers (CHW) to use a smartphone-based prenatal counseling application as a "job aid" instead of the existing paper based standard is associated with increased women's use of maternal health services in Singida region, Tanzania.
In low-income countries, frontline community health workers (CHWs) have potential to improve
women's access to maternal health services through prenatal counseling and referral.
However, CHW performance can often be enhanced with sufficient training, incentives,
supportive supervision and job aids. Smartphone-based applications designed to assist CHWs
with referrals, health education and client counseling may improve the quality of care
delivered during household visits. There is a need for rigorous scientific studies on the
impact of such interventions.
This study investigates whether CHWs' use of a smartphone-based application increases
women's use of maternal health services in Singida region, Tanzania. It is hypothesized that
smartphone-assisted counselling by CHWs can increase use of health facility-based delivery
services compared to a control group of CHWs using standard paper-based protocols. This
study is conducted within the context of larger project - SUSTAIN-MNCH Project (Supporting
Systems to Improve Nutrition, Maternal, Newborn and Child Health), implemented by World
Vision through multiple partners.
