Worm Infection 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.

Effects of Video-based Health Education on Maternal and Child Health in Ethiopia

MCH

Start date: March 13, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Low adherence to recommended health and nutrition strategies during the critical 1000 day-window of opportunity is multifactorial but low quality communication is key limitation. Innovative strategies to improve interpersonal communication can reduce the burden and the fatigue of community health workers and may result in a greater change. The findings of this project will support governments and other stakeholders in their delivery of high impact nutrition and health practices. This intervention aims to improve adherence to ante- and post-natal care practices and recommendations by the use of our video-based health education. These videos will be implemented through home-based counseling by trained assistants, and video-based forum participation led by community nurses and health extension workers (HEWs). During the monthly forums, the educational package will be delivered in a video form - locally prepared using multiple approaches like testimony, comedy, dramas in the form of questions and answers, group discussions and deductive approaches. Cordless projectors and locally created videos give the health community more quality control over the end message, expand the number of people reached, allow for the use of minimally trained non-expert facilitators such as the hews, and allow for contextually appropriate information. They can also be used in areas without access to electricity, helping to bridge the digital divide, and serving as a leapfrog technology for areas that would otherwise not have access to media.
