Relationship of perinatal outcomes to the competence and quantity of contact with community health workers
Background: The effectiveness of perinatal home visits by community health workers (CHWs) often diminishes when large regional or national programmes are implemented. To address this gap, we aimed to identify which CHW behaviours influence maternal and child outcomes. Methods: We randomised all government-funded CHWs at eight deeply rural clinics (n = 43) by clinic to usual care, which consisted of home visits (control group; four clinics, 23 CHW…
Maternal depression, alcohol use, and transient effects of perinatal paraprofessional home visiting in South Africa: Eight-year follow-up of a cluster randomized controlled trial
“The Videos Gave Weight to Our Work”: Animated mHealth Videos and Tablet Technology Boost Community Health Workers’ Perceived Credibility in Khayelitsha, South Africa
Mobile health (mHealth) interventions are increasingly used to support community health workers (CHWs) in low-and middle-income countries. As near-peers within their communities, the credibility of CHWs is sometimes questioned—a recognized barrier to their efficacy. Nested within a large, randomized-controlled trial, this qualitative study captured the experiences of South African CHWs, called “Mentor-Mothers,” using tablets and animated videos t…

While the use of mobile phones and tablets is innovative, the applicability of these technologies in different contexts remains poorly understood. Furthermore, little is known about the acceptability and feas…
