| The CHANGE Project adapted the set of
tools to conduct and analyze qualitative research for
early postpartum care. In partnership with Save the Children
Federation in Guinea, CHANGE designed a behavior change
intervention to increase early postpartum careseeking.
Trained community members interviewed women, mothers-in-law,
husbands, village health committee members, traditional
providers and skilled providers to explore the most
acceptable ways to get women to early postpartum care
and how to promote it. In Mandiana District, respondents
believed that a trained traditional attendant could
visit women at home during the first two weeks after
birth.
Community groups reviewed the research results and
designed behavior change intervention strategies appropriate
to their local context. |
