    Open AccessSanju Bhattarai, Samata Kumari Yadav et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2023

    It is important to understand gender norms, mobile access, and mobile literacy before implementing an mHealth intervention. The contextual barriers to implementation meant that we were not able to engage family members as much as we had hoped, and we were not able to minimize in-person contact with families. We recommend a flexible approach to mHealth interventions which can be responsive to local context and the situation of participants. Home v…

Combining the approach to discovering grounded theory with a conceptualization of causality based on a realist ontology, we developed a theory to explain th…
