Digital Data Linkage and Scheduling to Track Pregnancy With or Without Community Data Use to Increase Antenatal Clinic Uptake in Western Kenya.

A Pragmatic Open-label, Community-based, Cluster Randomised Controlled Superiority Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Cost-effectiveness of Digital Data Linkage and Scheduling ('C-it') With or Without Community Data Use ('DU-it') to Increase Antenatal Clinic Uptake in Western Kenya.

Sponsor

Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine

Enrollment

1,440 participants

Start Date

Nov 29, 2024

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Pregnancy Health Systems Electronic Community Health Information Systems Antenatal Clinic Uptake

Summary

The investigators propose to increase ANC uptake through a health systems strengthening approach that links digital data platforms and trains community Work Improvement Teams (WITs) to use these data to identify problems and come up with local solutions. Our short name C-it DU-it (pronounced "see-it; do-it") is an acronym intended to convey 'seeing' linked data (C-it) and 'doing' or acting on the data (DU-it). The trial design is a 2-arm, cluster-randomised controlled superiority trial in Homa Bay County to determine the efficacy of 'C-it DU-it' intervention (data use arm) to increase ANC contacts when compared to the 'C-it' enhanced standard of care (control arm).
