Effectiveness of a Mobile Phone Messaging-Based Message Framing Intervention for Improving Maternal Health Service Uptake and Newborn Care Practice in Rural Jimma Zone, Ethiopia: Protocol for a Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Ethiopia has high rates of maternal and neonatal mortality. In 2019 and 2020, the maternal and newborn mortality rates were estimated at 412 per 1,000,000 births and 30 per 10,000 births, respectively. While mobile health interventions to improve maternal and neonatal health management have shown promising results, there are still insufficient scientific studies to assess the effectiveness of mobile phone messaging-based message framing for maternal and newborn health.

Objective

This research aims to examine the effectiveness of mobile phone messaging-based message framing for improving the use of maternal and newborn health services in the Jimma Zone, Ethiopia.

Methods

A 3-arm cluster-randomized trial design was used to evaluate the effects of mobile phone
