Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted in rural Burkina Faso to evaluate the impact of a radio campaign targeting family behaviors on reducing under-5 child mortality, combining outreach with health promotion strategies.
- The research used a cluster randomised trial design, assigning geographical areas with high radio listenership to either receive the radio campaign or serve as a control, measuring effects through household surveys over several years.
- Findings aimed to show a significant reduction (20%) in child mortality rates as a result of the campaign, with additional analysis on health service usage indicators for comprehensive understanding of the intervention's effects.
