Impact Evaluation of the Pilot SMS Mother Reminder System
Objectives
The study aims to assess the effects of the SMS Mother Reminder system on use of health care in Uganda. A secondary aim of the study is to determine the behavioural factors and cost-effectiveness, as well as test the usability of the SMS Mother Reminder in Uganda.
The study is prospective and interventional comparing differences between pregnant women who receive reminder messages via the SMS Mother Reminder system to those who are not. Pregnant women will be followed from their first ANC visit at a health facility through delivery. The study will examine the effect of the mobile phone intervention on attendance to ANC appointments and IPTP2 coverage. The intervention group will be composed of pregnant women receiving SMS reminder messages in comparison with a control group of pregnant women receiving no intervention (i.e. no SMS reminders).
