Sponsor's own description
Neonatal mortality (defined as death in the first 28 days of life) remains unacceptably high in sub-Sarahan Africa. The concentrated risk of neonatal illness in the first weeks of life and its potential to rapidly deteriorate means that expanding mothers' access to timely information and support during this period is critical to reducing neonatal mortality. This cluster-randomized control trial aims to integrate a 2 way interactive SMS text messaging intervention into existing digital infrastructure supporting Community Health Volunteer (CHV) workflow in Western Kenya (dCHT) to enable remote communication by mothers with CHVs between home visits.
