Use, Acceptability and Feasibility of a Pilot mHealth Intervention in Control of Diarrhoea in Kayunga District Uganda
REFNo: HS16ES
The proposed project will assess the use, acceptability and feasibility of a mHealth (mobile-phone technology for health) intervention that uses mHealth to help caregivers in rural Uganda establish tailored information on appropriate at-home care for diarrhoea or referrals for treatment based on the patient/child’s symptoms. \r\n\r\nThe specific objectives are:\r\n1. Obtain community feedback on the preliminary version of the mHealth intervention to refine the intervention, the app—user interactions, and procedures for promoting the intervention in the community.\r\n2. Make the intervention to one community of approximately 3,000 residents for 3 months and evaluate: use, acceptability, and feasibility of the intervention. \r\n3. Based on the findings, revise the mHealth intervention for testing in a larger trial to assess its effectiveness in reducing the time to treatment, cases of severe diarrhoea, and mortality. \r\n
