Evaluation of Prototype Solutions for Optimizing Maternal Health Behaviors
Sponsor: Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health
Summary
This study is a three-year implementation research project that aims to develop and test the effectiveness and acceptability of interventions to promote three outcomes: institutional delivery, antenatal care, and iron-folic acid supplementation among pregnant women in Ethiopia. The project applies a Human-Centered-Design (HCD) to develop prototype solutions that optimize the uptake and adherence to maternal and child health services by pregnant women. The evaluation of high-fidelity prototype solutions that come out from a sprint workshop (rapid HCD) and an extended HCD process will take place across two phases.
