A model for the adoption of ICT by health workers in Africa.

Purpose: To investigate the potential of information and communication technology (ICT) adoption among maternal and child health workers in rural Nigeria.

Methods: A prospective, quantitative survey design was used to collect data from quasi-randomly selected clusters of 25 rural health facilities in 5 of the 36 states in Nigeria over a 2-month period from June to July 2010. A total of 200 maternal and child health workers were included in the survey, and the data were analyzed using a modified theory of acceptance model (TAM).
