Study Overview
Brief Summary
A cohort study to investigate the effectiveness of radio intervention comprising 10-minute of drama, 10-minute of discussion led by community extension workers, and 30-minute phone-in from listeners on childhood vaccination coverage and timeliness
Detailed Description
The evaluation is conducted in 2 districts located in the Oromia region of Ethiopia. One of the districts will be allocated to receive the 3-month radio intervention while the other district that will not have access to the radio intervention will serve as the control.
Data collection includes survey of mothers at two "key" times: at baseline (when infants are at most 5 weeks old; but before beginning the intervention) and at endline (including examination of infant vaccination records) at most 21 days after the end of the radio intervention. The same mothers and infants to be followed at endline.
