简要总结
The study aims to assess the effects of the SMS Mother Reminder system on use of health care in Uganda. A secondary aim of the study is to determine the behavioral factors and cost-effectiveness, as well as test the usability of the SMS Mother Reminder in Uganda.
详细描述
USAID/Uganda is commissioning a prospective impact evaluation of the initial SMS component of Uganda's National Health Record Program (NHRP) in order to inform strategic targeting of eHealth and future investments after the pilot phase of the NHRP mobile platform "SMS Mother Reminder". This impact evaluation will be designed to answer the following questions:
Primary evaluation question:
• What is the effect on maternal health outcomes (ANC4 and IPTP2) of the village health teams' use of the SMS Mother Reminder system?
Secondary evaluation questions:
- What factors most influence changes in health workers, village health teams and expectant women's knowledge, attitudes and practices in maternal health?
- To what extent is using the SMS Mother Reminder application to track and inform pregnant women a cost-effective intervention from the perspectives of USAID?
- To what extent can users easily carry out specific tasks (e.g. entering the information of pregnant women) of the SMS Mother Reminder application on mobile devices?
