| Behaviors
for Skilled Attendance |
A list of ideal behaviors for all of the groups
involved in decision making for use of skilled attendance
at birth and early postpartum. Can be used to decide
what groups to include in the research and to design
behavior-based interview questions. |
| Qualitative
Research Timetable |
A sample timetable with estimated
time required for each step in the design and implementation
of maternal survival behavior change research activities.
|
| Qualitative
Research Plan |
A sample research plan for
qualitative research on use of skilled attendance. |
| Research
Objectives |
A list of overall and specific
research objectives for each category of respondent.
The list can be used as is or adapted according
to program needs. |
| Community
Interviewer Training |
An outline for training community
interviewers who already have some experience in
qualitative research. |
Guides
for Investigation of Skilled Attendance
(15 Instruments)
|
Sample guides for in-depth
interviews and focus group discussions with women
and other groups who influence use of skilled attendance.
|
|
Tools for Projective Techniques
|
Sample drawings
for use during interviews that make use of projective
techniques. |
| Maternal
Survival Terms |
A list of key maternal survival
terms. Research plans should define these terms
in standard medical terminology, local language
and slang terms. Expand the list to reflect additional
terms as indicated by ongoing research. These locally
appropriate words and phrases allow design of more
effective BC materials. |
| Complication
Narratives Results Grid |
Use this grid/matrix to abstract
and analyze results from the complication narrative
interviews. |
| Sample
of Complication Narratives (Kenya) |
An example of complication
narrative results. Used to "visualize"
complication narratives. |
| Behavior
Change Strategy Worksheet |
A worksheet
used to organize research results and develop a
comprehensive, research-based behavior change strategy. |
| Communications
Strategy Worksheet |
A worksheet to assist in developing
the communication component of a BC strategy, including
research-based plan for content and format of messages
and materials. |
Stages
of Behavior Change: Defining Indicators
|
Framework for one type of evaluation
of the behavior change component of maternal survival
programs. Used to document readiness to change within
the "stages of change" continuum pre-
and post- BC intervention. Allows more fine-tuned
documentation of stepwise increase in behavior change
achieved by programs. |
