Interventions
For those assigned to the CHW arm, management will be assisted by CDS from the CommCare application.

The physician will have received training and orientation on the same clinical protocols followed by the CHWs, as well as access to reference materials for these protocols, but the version of the CommCare application used will not provide CDS, but will serve to record and review patient data only.
