Knowledge of and access to frontline workers among poor, rural households in Amhara region, Ethiopia: a mixed-methods study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Social protection programmes have effectively reduced poverty and improved food security. However, the effects of poverty require an intersectoral approach to adequately address poor nutrition and health. Identifying gaps in knowledge and access to frontline workers who oversee these integrations is critical for understanding the potential for integrated social protection programming to improve these outcomes. We measured levels of social protection programme participants' knowledge of and interaction with social workers (SWs) and health extension workers (HEWs) in rural Ethiopia.

Methods

This mixed-methods study uses cross-sectional data from the baseline survey of a quasi-experimental impact evaluation among a sample of 5,036 households participating in Ethiopia
