Primary | Is VHT knowledge retention comparable or superior when comparing the use of tablets with standard Ugandan ICCM training methods in the recognition and management of pneumonia in children by Ugandan VHTs? | There will be 2 arms of the study to see if pre-loaded instructional videos on a low cost android tablet are either superior to or comparable to standard training methods in the training of VHTs in Mukono, Uganda in terms of recognition, prevention and management of pneumonia in children under 5 years old in line with ICCM guidelines. One group will receive normal ICCM training by attending the standard, didactic ICCM training workshop held in the community. The second, Interventional arm will utilize Ministry approved training videos pre-loaded into low cost android tablets. The overall aim of the study is to assess whether or not the tablets can replace the current time-consuming and expensive methods used throughout Uganda. | 2 months | No |
Secondary | Cost efficacy of the Tablet Approach to ICCM Training | We will perform detailed cost analysis for both arms of this trial. Generally, it is expensive to bring a group of VHTs together for trainings, with costs including transport, food, instructors, petrol, and materials. By contrast, getting tablets out to VHTs with simple user instructions allows learning to happen at home, and repeatedly by watching the videos over and over again. | 2 months | No |
