Evaluating the impact of e-registration and mHealth on institutional delivery in hazard-prone areas of Bangladesh: A protocol for a non-randomized controlled cluster trial. | LitMetric

AI Article Synopsis

  • * This study will evaluate the impact of an e-registration tracking system and mobile health (mHealth) counseling on increasing institutional deliveries among pregnant women in hazard-prone areas of southern Bangladesh through a six-month controlled trial.
  • * The intervention will involve registering participants in the e-registration system and providing support via calls and texts from midwives, with data collected and analyzed to determine the effectiveness of these digital solutions in promoting safe deliveries.

Article Abstract

Despite substantial progress, Bangladesh still has a high rate of maternal deaths owing to difficulties during pregnancy, delivery, and the postpartum period. Increasing facility delivery is mandatory to reach the goal of bringing down the MMR to <70 deaths/100,000 live births by 2030. In the era of digitalization, the introduction of e-registration and mHealth may aid the government in reaching this target. The southern part of Bangladesh is a hazard-prone area, where service uptake from institutions is low. This study aims to determine the effect of an e-registration tracking system and mHealth counseling on institutional deliveries to pregnant mothers in hazard-prone areas of southern Bangladesh. We will conduct an open-label, two-arm, non-randomized controlled cluster trial for six months and use three hazard-prone areas for intervention and another three hazard-prone areas for control. We will collect data at baseline and end-line of the study period using a structured questionnaire. We will enroll at least 268 pregnant mothers from the intervention and 268 pregnant mothers from the control areas after screening based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Pregnancy information will be obtained from the Family Welfare Assistant register. The respondents of the intervention arm will be registered in the e-Registration system, and receive voice call and text messages from the midwives to have their deliveries done in healthcare facilities. We will follow the participants until their delivery and exclude those respondents from the study who will have post-dated delivery, migrate out, lost to follow-up, or die during the study period. Random-intercept mixed-effect logistic regression will be performed to explain the relationship of e-registration and mHealth package with institutional delivery. Institutional delivery is still uncommon in Southern Bangladesh despite several interventions. Innovative approaches like e-registration and mHealth counseling may be helpful to bring women to health facilities. The findings from the study might enable the policy makers of Bangladesh to integrate the intervention package into the existing healthcare system. This experiment is registered in the open science framework.
