Improving data use in decision-making and utilization of maternal healthcare services through a data-informed platform for health approaches in districts of the Gedeo Zone, southern Ethiopia, 2023: a cluster-randomized control trial

ABSTRACT:

Background

In low-resource countries such as Ethiopia, the utilization of local data for planning and decision-making health systems was frequently constrained. In addition, despite several government initiatives, maternal health services were not completely utilized. On the other hand, efforts to effectively utilize the local data available to improve the utilization level of maternal healthcare services were insufficient, necessitating the need for a different approach.

Objective

This implementation study aims to test and validate the effectiveness of a data-informed platform for health (DIPH) strategies on data use for decision-making and utilization of maternal health services in districts of the Gedeo Zone, southern Ethiopia.

Methods

A two-arm parallel group
